Will,

No I can't point to a database of accident reports or something similar.
I'm speaking from what I've heard and seen.  Strictly a personal opinion.

I think the most damning evidence concerning automotive conversions is
the deafening silence of reports of success.  I'm speaking of long
hours.  Who has gone 2000 hours on a conversion? And it would be nice to
see more than one.... :-)  The longest I know of is Tracey Cook on a
Mazda conversion, 600 hours??? maybe more.  How about a list of 10 or
more conversions that have gone 500 hours? Can't find it...

I was on the conversion bandwagon for quite some time.  The lack of
success stories have dampened my enthusiasm.
