As ive got the whole donor car in working order, i could swap over the entire wiring loom as well yes?

Although a tight fit, as you seem to have already read, a 306 V6 conversion is do-able. From a v quick Google search you'll need to adapt the
engine mounts, shorten the driveshafts, lower the subframe a bit, sort the wiring, and no doubt mess with exhaust ...among other things!
Im sure it will be a mighty endeavor. Maybe ill be at it 7 years like the guys at BOM.
Exhaust, wiring, and engine mounts im confident to handle. shortening the drive shafts and modifying the subframes/steering will take some learning or delegation!
