So now I don't even think about and I just drive the car and enjoy it. HOWEVER, if I do lose the engine due to an exploded IMS bearing, I am 100% sure that I am going to do this conversion.

Holy Cow! The sound of the note is sweet. I use to be an old Harley Shovelhead buff and I love a little noise. If the time comes that I need to do a major repair like Swhitcomb, I'll go this route for sure.

Thanks for the links
