2.3 liter

I'm having trouble with my truck. When you push the clutch in it makes a sound like it's gasping for air or something and as you start to move it makes a whinning sound (pretty loud one). All my fluids are good in it. Also, when you take off or when you're changing gears it bogs down at first and then it takes off like you hit the nitro button or something. It does this through all the gears. It is a manual and the poor thing has got 230,000 miles on it, but I need to get just a little more out of it before I can get another engine for it. Any ideas on the problem? Also, can you swap a V-6 engine into a 4-cylinder truck. I was thinking of doing that when I buy a new engine for it. Thanks alot.
