I'ill go with option # 3 if i were you.

But i looking beyond rebuilding my engine spring season next year,my desire is to get a V8 in my horse so from this weekend i'll start my quest for info about a possible V8 swap.

The DOHC 4.0L engine from the 2001 Oldsmobile aurora is the one.

This engine is rated @ 250hp and our transmission is likely to handle the additional 35 horses this engine comes with.

Transmission bell housing is almost identical,the hardest work is the ECU and re-locating the starter according to this info :

Gonna take this to my mech later this afternoon.

That is a very interesting web page and like you indicate bolting it in would be easier to me than messing with the engine harness. Your plan would require a new harness, and motor mounts ??? etc. But "more power to you" let us know if you do it!!!!
