Dropping a 3.5 into a 2.5 chassis. Anyone done it?

Have the opportunity to pick up a 2.5 with no motor for real cheap. Already own a 2003 3.5. Anyone dropped the V6 into a 4cyl chassis? If so, how much hassle is it?

Thanks!

don't you now have to get a harness for the fuel injectors, ignition coils. modify exhaust & mounts, get a new ecm for a v6 model?

edit: 2 kinds of transmissions as well :(

RE4F04B for the 4 cyl engine

RE5F22A for the v6


and i guess that's just the tip of the iceberg
