stick with a 98 V6 car if possible. 98's have some slight differences from the '99-'02 cars and the '98 to '98 swap is supposedly the easiest. Check out this link for more info:

There are other sites out there as well - do some searching before you buy your V6 car or any other parts. Doing your research now will help you realize if you even want to attempt the swap!
