It is nice to hear someone else is not as crazy as me.
I am in the middle of this conversion now. I had a liner drop on my 4.0l and decided spending $3,000 on a short block of a poorly designed engine isn't for me (I am bitter and don't care if people have another opinoin). I have not ordered the late model 4.3l engine yet but will early July. I did recieve my Marks Adapters kit in the mail yesterday from Australia (took about 6 weeks, ~$1300 with flywheel). The 4.3l is easily available in tons of different configurations but I am hoping to get as late a model as possible but still have cable throttle. They still make this engine btw. As far as making a kit, I got to much going on right now but when I am done I will consider it after I see what all is required.
Major concerns:
Recalibrating ECU to: disable immobilizer, manual tranny, ect...
Exhaust fitting with catalyst (I am green)
AC and PS hoses
All the other electrical issues I will have to work out
PM me if you want to know more.
