For the sake of not over complicating things, if i were you I would just work with the 2.4L. I think you're underestimating the potential of the Quad 4. Yes it would be more pricey to make quicker but it would reduce the risk of running into wiring issues and reduce the possibility of ending up with a half functioning swap. You could make a 2.3/2.4 hybrid which would be rather nice. Also swap in a GMPP 2.4 SC kit in a 2.3/2.4 hybrid would put you into the 200 HP range which wouldn't be bad... The SC kit does cost over 2 grand new but it would be a lot easier than what you're thinking of doing.

You are right in the sense that you can accomplish any swap, but the chances of success and getting everything in working order is less than working with what you already have. Not trying to discourage you, but I just think it's way more trouble than it's worth to go from 4 cyl to 6. I'd just sell the 4 banger and just upgrade to a GLS if you're set on a V6. Just my two cents.
