Why would you swap the bottom end? It sounds like its fine, some 3.5's run hundreds of thousands of miles and never bend a rod.

Blue smoke on start up is probably valve steam seals.

Seems like a lot of wasted time, money and effort. Its not going to leave you in New Mexico with a blown engine, the oil consumption increases graduly over tens of thousands of miles until it just won't run anymore.
