Good idea to swap the powertrain; the northstars in those were AWFUL and every tiny part will break the bank due to rarity.
I do agree with Daox, however, other cars will be easier and/or cheaper.
My wife's intrigue is similar in size/comfort/aero and already has the 3.8.

I forgot about the intrigue...
Honestly this Aurora has been sitting behind the dealership snowed in and stuck in the ice for months. I couldn't help but think that the body spent at least a little time in the wind tunnel.
No, ultimate FE would not be the goal, but excellent FE for 3500lb+ sedan with all the bells and whistles would be.
My thinking is that the OEM's could have built much more efficient cars with more thought to aero and still have retained considerable passenger comfort and convenience.
I would like to make a project out of this just to prove the point... cost for me would be minimal, but it would take time...
