What engines/tranny will fit an '86 Tempo?

I have an '86 Tempo (2.3 HSC TBI/CFI) that is a really solid car, but it has no get up and go. I have heard of people dropping in a V-6 as well as the Taurus SHO setup. I'm not looking for a racecar just some more umph so I can get out in traffic or get out of the way. Also I'm not looking to spend an enormous amount of money either. I've toyed w/ the idea of a turbo but reckon that the plumbing would be a nightmare.One more thing the car has to stay an automatic as there are members of my family that cannot(will not?!) drive stick.
Thanks
