We have an 02' 4 door sedan, automatic. We purchased the vehicle in it's current condition, for a mere $500.

The issue at hand. I want to swap out the 2.7l with a 3.3l? I understand that they both mount to the same automatic tranny. The area where I live, we can buy engines all day long. They are never in short supply, and you find yourself out no more than $700. I want to know, if what I am thinking is possible, what else will I have to change. The pcm and it's wire's? Anything else?
Rebuilding and swapping engines and tranny's are not foreign to me, but this compartment if pretty tight. I'm ready to do this, have any of you done this before?

Will the 3.3 even fit into the engine bay? Thats the real question.. I am not the expert here but a lot of idiots tend to come on the board asking crazy *** questions that only somebody thats a solid mechanic type with solid equipment can fix. I predict that some of the senior members(a la the guys that know what the hell they are talking about) will come on here and give you a hard time because of you asking this question. I havent seen anybody drop anything other than the 2.7 back into a car that originally had a 2.7... you would need more than just an engine.. you would need all the wiring, computers, etc.. etc... so its probably not even worth the time unless you have nothing better to do with your life... just my 2c and expect the beating to come.

Sure it'll go in. No sweat. Just need to re-engineer the plumbing, electrical, mounts, exhaust, computer, throttle links, speed control and maybe a few more things. No sweat.
But look, why be a piker about this engine swap thing. Go big or stay home, that's my motto. Here, shoot for the stars:

It looks like he still hasn't found a hood for it because it looks like it juts out a lot from the engine bay.
