Replace the 6 with a 5?

Anyone ever thought of putting one of the BETTER 5 cyl. engines in a newer 126 body? I love my '83 SD, but I'd like one of the later 126's with the longer wheel base (SDL). Wouldn't probably be a very cheap swap, unless you could find a parts car with a decent running engine for cheap. Was just day dreaming one day and wondered how easy a swap it would be.
