Well you say you're thinking about doing a conversion - were you planning on doing this yourself, or paying someone to do it? Whichever be the case, surely whoever does the conversion can look after it. If you're mechanically handy enough to put the engine in/get it going yourself, surely you can look after it, otherwise I'd imagine the same apply's to whoever does it for you. Just my thought

"Servicing" these days consists of an oil change, new oil filter, check the plugs, and replace the timing belt every now and then. Any old mechanic can do something like that, and the fact it's an imported engine doesn't mean much at all.
But I agree with the above, do it yourself! This stuff is hardly rocket science...

these days ive heard of people not doin anything to the engine
they just buy 2nd hand import engine every few yrs and replace it hehe
these days its a throw away society
all u ned to do is change oil and filter
most people dont have car long enough to warrant changing plugs(platinums) and timin belts

somehow I don't think that is the economical way of doing it
On topic: if you know how to do the stuff then do it. If you don't, get a mate who does and get one of those do it yourself books from Super Cheap or Autobarn and get cranking.
Any questions, ask here
