First off, I just want to thank you guys for all the info and pointers you gave me.

After doing digging, I'm thinking a starion drivetrain swap is out of the question since I just can't plain find any.
Next the full swap I've found an option that might work for me. I know you say don't use JDM engine importers but part out dsm's near me are 5k+ so it doesn't make sense. It's a 2g dsm that has engine, accessories, full harness, and ecu. I figured I'd do the necessary engine mount mods, coolant hose routing, clutch mods, and trans mount mods that come with it.

The other way was the dohc head swap. After digging and doing an excel for this I found the cost to end up about the same area, and to me (although i've never done an engine swap period) it seems like more work to me.
So, I figure my best bet is to find a full dsm engine and start at that base.

Then when it comes to suspension and brakes, I was going to do that after I do swap, may not be the best bet, but that is my current idea.
