Thanks, Mike. Your input/experience is without equal. Have you ever thought of writing a book based on your experience on the 242 V8 swap? Of all the 200 series V8 swaps I have seen, yours is by far the one I would wish to own. You have done the 5.0 Ford swap and now, a GM LS. Your experience with suspension set-ups is invaluable. I've done my research and your recommendations are what I'll do to mine when money permits. I would bet you may have more experience than anyone with the hundreds of details that cause folks to pull out their hair, or worse, give up. My brother-in-law, my sister and a neighbor have self published books and made a few bucks. I have the JTR small block Chevy swap book and a couple of copies of the Converse "manual" and they all leave a lot to be desired. If you wrote one with concise text and good photos based on your own hands-on experience, I'd buy one!
Lots of folks get in over their head and get discouraged; 2 weeks ago I bought a load of parts from an abandoned 260 Bertone/Ford swap here in Detroit.
Even though the number of folks doing this swap has fallen off, (I'll bet chiefly because the newest cars 25 years old and it's hard to find one without a lot of rust, at least here in the Midwest), there is still a lot of interest. I've seen 2, 240s, (both Fords), a 260 Bertone, (Ford, unfinshed and abandoned), and 2, 700 wagons, (1 sm. block Chevy, the other an LS) here in Detroit in the last couple years.
