Remodeling after or before is the same thing, but for the fact that you have to pull the FE that's in the car already and you have to buy some new parts, namely the SOHC engine.
Throttle and steering linkage, headers, footboxes, etc. all have to be redone in either case. It's not breaking any new ground. In fact, at the time my engine and tranny were being installed, there was a Kirkham at the same shop having a Cammer installed.
I could never do it, but for someone who's performed the change on a number of occasions, it's no big deal.
