you should also keep the front and rear differntials <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> unless you are adding a d44 up front <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

here are my thoughts.

If you can't do it yourself (fab it, plumb it, and wire it), and will be paying a shop to do all of the work. Save yourself time and money and buy a 98+ Amigo, lift it, add tera-lows and a locker...it will cost less than paying a shop to swap your engine.

If you can do it, GO FOR IT!!! The trans will have to be changed out, but there are many options for the 3.2. start with the Dakota Bellhousing thread

Engine wise, I would look for a pre 96 (less emissions stuff), or a 98+ (more power). You could also look for a Trooper 3.5 V6.

No matter how its done, its going to be expensive and time consuming. But thats why it is a HOBBY <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Plus you'll learn lots!
