Was gonna suggest playing with the gear ratios, assume you have 915 box now.. what year? You should check your numbers.

Still a lot.. good usable motors were usually between $10 -15K but you have to shop.
Conversion kit was available from Patrick, unless he's gone ala-carte with it? Kit consisted of the sheet-metal, interface harness, and a few other pieces.. its not cheap, but it makes it plug and play and its not thousands of dollars. I've also seen these pieces come-up for sale used, or from projects that changed direction.
Exhaust will need to modified but a stock 3.6 can be made to work or you can spend for custom exhaust. If its a V-ram motor you may need to modify/clearance the rear package tray so that the intake clears.
You can also check-out Steve Timmons in DE. He makes-up kits, will do an install, may even take your old motor etc.. in trade to help get your numbers down.
