"a quiter spindle" will need to be water cooled. I would suggest that you get your machine working, and familiar with it before you start mod'ing it.

I modified my Power Route with a VFD water cooled spindle fully connected (g-code controlled) to my own control box using Linuxcnc. I learned a lot but it also took a lot of time. And adding a VFD is messy. I needed a larger cable chain, a place to mount the water pump and radiator, all shielded cables including steppers and limit switches (VFDs are electrical noise generators), single phase power (220), and a new mount for a heaver spindle.
Just for the spindle I purchased the following:
1. VFD 220V 2.2KW 3hp Variable Frequency Drive CNC VFD Motor Drive Inverter Converter for Spindle Motor Speed Control HUANYANG HY-Series(2.2KW, 220V)
2. Huanyang Water Cooled CNC Spindle Milling Motor 220V 2.2KW 24000RPM 400hz ER20 Collet for Engraving Machine
3. BXQINLENX SC600 DC 12V PC CPU Water Cooling System Tool Water Pump 132.09 GPH 10W Brushless Drive Water Pump for Desktop Computer Laptop Computer
4. Aramox Low Noise CPU Water Cooling Pump 3000RPM Fast Heat Dissipation Computer Pump Tank for Desktop Computer Cool System (Red)
5. Flow Meter Indicator, G1/4 Threaded 6 Impeller 3 Ways for PC Computer Water Cooling System
6. Computer Radiator Water Cooling Cooler for CPU Heat Sink 240mm/360mm (360mm)
7. Plastic Drag Chain Cable Carrier with End Connectors 35 x 75mm L1040mm for Electrical CNC Router Machines
8. Custom Cable Connection 22 AWG 4 Conductor Stranded Shielded Plenum Cable White CL3P Jacket - 100 Foot Roll in a bag
9. VFD motor cable (https://www.mcmaster.com/vfd-motor-cable/)

Thanks for the replies and extra info I appreciate it. I do have a pretty good idea of how to run and operate the machine but like oldtech stated its a bit messy especially if you have to tear everything down first . So I just figured it would be easier to do it right from the gate!! Thanks again
