Is it possible to replace the front standard of an anniversary speed graphic with a pacemaker / crown graphic standard to get front tilt ability?
Or should I just give it up and chase down a pacemaker speed graphic?

Mine is setup that way. I bought it that way on ebay. Heck of a time trying to date the camera with a different shutter/body than front standard.
Better still a Super Graphic front standard will fit and gives a lot more movements.
I asked this question last year here and on Graflex.org and was told no way Now I have a Super Graphic so tried it, perfect. The standards are inter-changeable but you'll need to get the bellows to fit,

Just an update on mine. I think the front standard on mine is a 1952-53ish vintage pacemaker on a 40's era anniversary. Mine has the anniversary style shutter controls as shown here http://graflex.org/speed-graphic/ann...y-graphic.html, but newer front standard/sportfinder hoop/lens setup.
preanniversary definitely has a different track system than the pacemaker. I'm not sure which track system the anniversary has, since I'm not sure which track my camera has here.
That's an Anniversary (and pre-Anniversary) carrying strap, and the Anniversary & Pacemaker trackbed.
The Anniversary model is a half-way point between the early Speed Graphics and the later pacemakers.
Good to see your educating the young

The bed on my Anniversary drops about 30 degrees, while its Pacemaker front standard tilts back only about 18 degrees. This precludes using a wide angle on the front rails with bed dropped on my often modified Anniversary.
