Default Engine swap...

Is it possible to switch out a 2oo3 v6 engine into a 1999 body? how much work would i have to do past just the swap? would it be really difficult?

It shouldnt be too bad provided they are both sixers. Itd be real nice if you have both cars cuz then you know you'll have just about anything you would need to do it. Why are you doing this by the way?

yea they are both sixers...well i started out with an 03...it got smashed in a parking lot and basically the damage was totaling. Unfortunately for me i dont have full coverage insurance. So i sold all the stuff off that i could and bought a 99 that was in pretty straight condition but the mileage is at about 170,000. I think the 03 engine is a little bit more powerfull just from driving so i wanna do that swap but the 03 engine is a little bigger and im not huge on all the technical stuff so i was just makin sure before i started doin all the work.
