I feel your pain, especially since being over 6 feet tall doesn't help matters in a Metro with babyseats and a wife that likes to "collect" things.

I considered a first generation Dodge Caravan with a Mitsubishi 4G55 and changing it over to a 4D55 since it will basically bolt in, except finding a 4D55 and the emission realities comes into question.
