So I've got a 2002 Nissan Frontier XE with a 2.4L I4
engine. I've been wondering how difficult it would be to
upgrade it to a 3.3L V6, just the regular one, not the
supercharged engine. Has anyone done this before? And it's
a 4 speed automatic, not a 5 speed manual. Thanks y'all.

There's quite a bit of stuff involved. Getting a hold of a
VG33E is fairly easy, but you'll need a ECU, wiring, drive
shafts, maybe a transmission, and mounts.
Honestly now that they're getting older, it'd be easier
and around the same price to pick up a used one with a V6
already in it.
