Chrysler Pacifica Engine swap ideas??

2006 3.5L v6 2006 Chrysler Pacifica AWD.

Anyone know of a smaller (2.x)liter engine that would mate to that tranny?

So far i got a few ideas already to save fuel:
[1]0w-20 synthetic engine oil +lil Tufoil.
[2]Synthetic ATF{any suggestions}
[3]Redline shockproof lightweight gear oil.

[4]Higher output alternator.[to combat E10]
[5]Hotter inginition coil.[to combat E10]
[6]Low resistance wires.[to combat E10]
[7]Spark plugs with larger gaps{any suggestions best type}.[to combat E10]

[8]Some kind of piggyback fuel management system that allows adjust air-fuel ratio to 16:1 -to- 17:1?
[9]Lighter battery{any suggestions}
[10]Possibly ditch airbox for aftermarket air intake=weight savings?
[11]Possibly find lightweight exhaust headers=weight savings?
[12]Find cool lightweight 18 or 19inch rim+tire combo?

If a swap is not possible, any ideas on internal mods that would make a real difference, eg lightweight pistons/connecting rods/valve springs, or fuel-saver cams suppliers?

Want to keep budget under $5,500!
