i have decided to stay v6

... i just love it to much haha
but i have a quick question....if i got a really good deal on a 95 v6 with 5spd
tranny would that be a good way to go about it ?....do the split port swap on the engine before dropping it in my car....a few other upgrades and such....the engine has less then 200k on it (km not miles as it is canadian) .... im gonna be doin alota rebuilding on it...make it a quick little v6...or should i just say screw that and buy a 99+ ????
i would love some input
thanks ahead of time
