there are a lot of things. you will have to check to see if the
radiator is the same, like you said if the mounts are the same,
hoses, the wiring harness for the motor is different, the computer
is different, you might need the computer set up to the key if it
has the chip, they might use a different undercarrage too to fit
that motor and trans. it will be a lot of compairing from the 2.3 to
the 3.0 but not saying it couldn't be done just might cost you
more in the long run then it would cost you difference in getting
the 2.3L. nowadays the 4 cyl are just as peppy as the v6, it might
lack some power but in all reality it is just easier and is a more
economical choice to put the factory specified motor back in the
car. I have done swaps like this and unexpected amounts come
out in the long run costing me more time frustration and money
in the long run. if it was me I would just get a low mile 2.3 put it in
and make sure you get it with a warrenty.
