I think it is a good idea. Although I am partial to people who are willing to try something a bit different  The engine is not as heavy as everyone says, and they have some good torque.
A mate of mine has a 3.8L Buick from a VP in a Sigma. I have been helping him throughout the whole process. I have had a drive and it pulls very well. The 3.8 weighs less than the 2.0L that was in there, adn yes, it does sit bak a long way in the engine bay.
The engine he picked up cost $1200 from engine, Auto trans, ECU and loom. Other things you need to worry about are cross member, mounts and tailshaft. Trans is easy to hook up if you use an aftermarket shifter like a B&M or similar. From here there are plenty of other thig that you may want to look at but are not essential: Brakes, Diff, Dash, wheels, Suspension
Do something different. You wont be dissapointed.
