    Boy is that little engine expensive. Car-part lists several, but I don't know if any are in your area.

    It is a common swap to do. see the jeep article.

    Man WTF are you just a post padder or what if you dont know anything useful then STFU "Either way is your choice. If you want to try and put in a 6 cylinder, then you can. You'll need a computer, possibly transmission, and the wiring harnesses to go with the engine. And any other things that would come up, that are different between the two engines setups. Personally, I'd just do an engine rebuild" anyway no it will not be a easy swap the transmission is different and cpu is as well but really that is about all.

    Can't be swapped without changing the transmission too. New computer would also be needed, not sure what else.
