For the cost of a rebuild you might be able to get a crate I6.

The only concern I have with that is minimal costs in re-mating it to my
current tranny, driveshafts and etc. I would love to have the extra power,
but I worry for my axels etc... Also I don't know alot about re-hooking up
all the electrics etc.

Tru. All valid concerns. My suggestion is to start looking through
the yellow pages at engine or motor rebuild shops. Then go visit the
shop and get an idea of costs. Usually what happens is you get a
rebuilt engine and they take your core (old engine). Most of the time
the rebuild has nothing on it and you have to transfer all the accessories
over.

If you have time and a second method of trasporation it may be worthwhile
to do it yourself. It will be cheaper. But you will need a good tech
manual (service book, motor, chiltons) and the proper tools.

Good luck.
