I appreciate it. Those links tell ALOT about conversions and pricing, good
stuff.

  I favor the Cleveland route too.  Just passing on some info I've collected
and saved for future reference. Keep us posted on the new engine.

  Cheers!

    Garth,

    You have assembled quite a wealth of information here.
    There are certainly quite a few ways to go.
    I'm leaning towards finding another Cleveland block and keeping it
simple.
    I'm still not over all the fabrication and mods required to lower and
slide forward the small block Chevy in my other P (The Beast).
    For the Winged Warrior I just want good drivability and dependability.
    Thanks for giving me so much to think about.

      Many have. I believe both PI and Panteras by Wilkinson have been doing
these conversions for customers for a while now.

      Check out these links for starters and different opinions...

      Counter-point:  Read this thread for Dan Jones' (Ford engine guru)
opinion of the modular motor:
