Can one access the motor similarly for the more common modifications, ie intake, heads, headers, etc? Or is it more likely to have to pull the motor to gain access?

Intake - On a cleveland its very straight forward. There is no coolant in the intake like a Chevy.
Headers - Good accessibility (assuming the bolts cooperate, see related threads)
All in all I've found the engine quite easy to work on (although working on the front is a challenge see Buttondoor's comment).
Once the rear hatch is removed one person can pull the engine/transaxle (with patience!!)
Best thing to do is to see one for yourself of course.
Where are you in OK?
