engine swap.
this is thinking very long term, and i know nothing about how to go about swapping engines.
if i were to find a newer 3.2 v6 engine and replace my 2.5 inline5, would that work since the engines are two different styles and balances?
and if so how expensive would it be not counting getting the engine

Honestly, it's too big of a project. Everything has to be relocated. Plus it's not just the motor you have to replace, but the transmission also. Then comes the challenge of making sure they both fit right. Labor alone would probably cost more than $4k.
You're really better off finding a 3.2TL and having the motor rebuilt if need be.
