For what it's worth, I am saving up money. I'm poor now, but I could probably afford the auxillary transmission within a year or so(probably will also go for an aluminum driveshaft at the same time, since I would need to replace it anyways, might as well go for a light one and get a few more 'free' ponies to the wheels). As for the engine swap, I'm not totally sure how one would stuff a new engine into the van, and it probably would be more complex than what I'd be willing to do. Also, it may take years to pay off, but I'm planning on keeping the van for years and years. It's really going to become a project vehicle.
