I'd be concerned about the 4's torque - it would require a different rear-end, and likely there isn't a 4 that bolts up to the existing transmission. A modern 6 can out-torque an older V8. But, it's certainly worth considering. A 4 is far more efficient than a V6.
I'd be concerned that a V8 with a bank removed (or even just two cylinders at the end) would have terrible balance and would vibrate a lot.
