And done correctly a chain conversion is a great conversion as it runs all GM equipment,its not cobbled together with bits off of a cresida or ford or a WB Holden and you can buy things like extractors that actually fit as they were designed ..Still cannot beat a left hand drive car left as left hand drive though

Before I bought my barge, I looked at another Grand Ville in South Australia that was RHD.  It had been converted using a properly engineered enclosed chain drive.  It drove very well.  On the flip side, back in the early '80s, I saw a factory Hemi/4 speed Dodge Charger that was converted with an open bicycle chain and bicycle sprockets under the dash.  Along with the bodgy steering, it had the obligatory bodgy wiring that goes with a rhd conversion.  Any of the loose wiring could have been mangled by the chain and sprockets...
