You have to find information on the web or your local garage as to if it is even feasible. It probably would be quite expensive as well. You have to replace more than the engine in most instances. Also the transaxle, the wiring harness, ECM and other parts. Not worth dumping thousands of dollars into a 15 year old minivan. Replacing your current engine with the same size, used, from a compatible year will be expensive enough. Probably $2000.
