Engine replacement

Ok, I'm sure I posted this on the old forums, I just forget if I checked for a response.
OK, I decided that if I ever had to replace the engine, I'd drop in a v6 3sfe. Would it just drop straight in to replace the 5sfe? Would I need to change suspension setup?
On a side note, how hard would it be to throw in a 3sgte?
Thanks.

I think the 3S-GTE would be easier than doing the V6 (3VZ-FE?). I've seen a 3S-GTE in a 4WD camry before and according to the owner, the engine swap isn't that hard to do. Use the camry box and the engine should come pretty close to bolting in. Things that may cause a problem are drivershafts and you'd also need a custom dump pipe off the turbo because the standard one fouls on the radiator (or something in that area).

Yea, it is probably the 3zv-fe I'm thinking about. The standard camry 3l v6. I thought that that would be the easier of the two.
Driveshafts should be alright, I intend on keeping it a fwd.
But thanks, It's definatly something to keep in mind for if I have to replace the engine. Plus it would be an awesome sleeper if I put the turbo in. 
Would the suspension need work?
