Well, the demand I believe is there. How you would investigate it, is to place a question of how many people need or would purchase the part. Also ask how much would a person buy it for... Personally, I woyuld pay 300.00 for NOS. Why? because that rattling timign chain noise becomes annoying not to mention that when it fails, there is your engine. As for the conversions, it is nice to keep affairs stock. I had a 78 GLE, and was amazed at the power and smoothness of that non turbo B engine. I am not certain if it was the four speed that was mated to it, however that cute Saab could leave a 900 SPG on acceleration by ten car lengths.
When you know a part is hot, is when you have orders placed in even before the supply. 100 dollards for those rare NOS parts are dirt cheap from all of the moaning that I read concerning timing chain availability. Imagine if you had a benz. I have a friend who has a 74 MErcedes, and some simple fuel injection part cost 300.00.
Have fun!
