VXer
Thanks for the support. Its actually going together really well compared to the troubles and lack of information we had found online during our research. So far, we really have just had minor trimming here and there, welding here and there, and lots of creative thinking in the bathroom! (best place to think)

OMG, this is amazing and great news!!! If (maybe when) the day ever comes that our OEM V-6's decide to die (and oftentimes they do), this gives the rest of us VX'ers great hope that there is still another option out there besides just the standard OEM V-6 replacement/rebuild. Plus, the side badging can be simply "flip-flopped" to read 5.3L on the side of the fender (brilliant)!!!
Please take very copious notes and detailed records/pictures during your V-8 build, so it can become "routine" in the future for any follow-on VX's that want to follow in its foot-steps. Perhaps VX'ers can ship their dying VX to your shop in Aberdeen, MD and leave it in your loving hands for the complete V-8 conversion and then have it return shipped back to their home state. Your shop would quickly become known as THE only place to have a professional V-8 upgrade conversion done on a VX (much like Hennesy Motors in Texas is famous for engine performance upgrades).
It seems poetic that you guys hail from Aberdeen, MD which is also where the U.S. Army Aberdeen Proving Grounds is located. You guys are "proving" that the VX can have a V-8 and have the expertise and knowledge to make it a worthwhile venture without the normal snafu's. Thank you for all you do and giving us VX'ers a professional V-8 option upgrade!!!
