I wonder if that saves all that much versus swapping in a 3.6 complete engine?
Although, I've read the newer crankcases have an additional crankshaft bearing to help deal with IMS and RMS issues(reducing crankshaft pertubations). So if true, I'd want to go with that.

I'm sure the best way to go is just swap in the entire engine. Besides parts, they would also have to machine the original heads and case to make way for the bigger pistons. Low mileage 3.6L engines can be had for 5-7k and I saw a brand new one for about 9k.
