The Wikipedia page may have the info you seek. Their Lycoming O-320 page is a quite detailed reference as to the differences between the various models. I don't know if the O-360 page is equally good.

I'd call to the shop you plan to use on the case conversion thing before you spend money. I've never heard of that particular idea before, and I'm almost certain it'd be impossible to go from a Conical to Dynofocal, the Dyno to Conical might be possible.

My plan is to find a run-out IO-360 with the Bendix fuel injection and overhaul it. I was not aware you can have the case modified. That is good news because I can now concentrate on just finding a good deal on a IO-360 and if happens to be a Dynafocal mount, just have the case modified.
By the time you find the needle in the haystack engine with a Bendix FI you will have almost as much money in overhauling the Bendix as you would getting a new AFP or Silverhawk system. Find a Good O-360 and convert to FI. Don
