Earthdawn to Shadowrun 4e, I'm giving it a shot Options

[fistandantilus4....]

That's the general consensus.

For Blood charms, you could look a little bit at the Theran SB, it talks more in depth about things like that, including full crystal arm replacements. But Earthdawn is very much more about the Adepts and Mages than street sams types. I wouldn't worry about that aspect too much. After all, in a standard ED game all of the PCs are Adepts. Work to your target audience.

That area would be correct.... for a long thread on it with nice visuals... see:

Other Equipment, Addendums
The Weapons from Aresenal and BBB pg. 305 should be sufficient in terms of normal weaponry. There costs out of the Earthdawn book will used in place of their nuyen values in either Aresenal or the BBB. Costs for the other provisions and services remain the same as in the Earthdawn core rulebook.

Addendum
Fistandantilus was right about armor values. I honestly wasn't sure how to do that one myself but I like your suggestion. The armor values for Projectile will be changed to Piercing. Piercing Weapons are any weapons intended to pierce an opponent rather than cause harm using blunt force trauma. Most larger swords do Impact damage, smaller swords and daggers deal piercing damage, bows and crossbows do piercing damage. Spears will do piercing, hammers will do impact, Axes will do Piercing. If there is any question what kind of damage the weapon deals, talk it through with the GM to find out what he feels is reasonable.

Optional
Blood Charms

Absorb Blow: This charm, when activated, removes 2 boxes from the character's physical damage track that can be recovered normally after the charm is expended. Once active, the charm cannot be turned off until expended. The Absorb Blow charm absorbs 10 boxes of damage from the next physical attack directed at the wearer of the charm. After the attack, the charm is expended and useless.

Astral Sensitive Eye: This enchanted lump of Amber contains a gel worm. When this charm is placed in the eyepatch over the eye of a character, the worm burrows into and destroys the eye of the wearer. This causes a permanent 0.2 points of essence loss and allows the character to perceive astral space exactly like a Windling.

Blood Studs: A very invasive form of Blood pebbles that cannot be extracted from your skin. They function exactly like Blood Pebbles except that they cannot be applied or removed in the same fashion, nor do they cause damage to the wearer. They cause a permanent essence loss of 1 point.
Cost: 600

Blood Boil Charm: The Blood Boil Charm is used by warriors to enhance their speed in combat. When activated, the charm takes two boxes off of the character's physical damage track and increases the character's initiative passes by 2 for a number of rounds equal to the character's body. Activating a Blood Boil charm is a simple action and its effects take place the turn after it is activated. The charm is expended after each use.
Cost: 50

Boiling Blood Seeds: These seeds work exactly the same as the blood boil charm except that they cannot be removed after they have been thrust into the character's blood stream. The seeds cause a permanent essence loss of 3 points instead of 2 CM boxes.
Cost: 210

There doesn't seem to be much left to convert and even this section isn't really necessary. If there's something else I need to post that I might have forgotten, just let me know. I don't feel I need to convert more of Earthdawn into 4e. I would like to say thank you to Bloodeyes for giving me a link that lead me to all kinds of cool maps for Earthdawn. And if the reader feels the need to contribute or comment, be my guest.

Yeah, its right as far I recall, but the climate is radically different.
