Gen6 engine swapping

has anyone heard of swapping a camry 07 i4 vvti engine for a v6?

is that even possible and how much would that cost. you would probably have to change the gauges and the gear shifter and exhaust right?

It's not even remotely cost effective or practical.

Sell the car and get a V6 if that's what you want.

I think the cost of swapping engine will be as much as trade-in for a V6 which is usually around $2,500 from an i4 to v6.

Engine, transmission, exhaust, all powertrain electronics, etc. would cost much more than $2,500. It would cost more than triple that without any labor...which would be thousands of dollars alone.
