Start with this sticky thread:

That should give you a lot of information to ponder.

Re: engine swap

That would hinge largely on your definition of "much".

An old Pontiac motor is going to take ALOT of work to get into one of these cars, by most people's standards. More than "much". Not "difficulty" so much as, just, work and $$$$$.
