I have a dohc engine can I change this out with any overhead valve engine or does it have to be the exact same v-6. Can you give me instructions on how to change the engine out?

Hello,

You will have to replace the engine with the exact same type of engine. That will be the only way you can reuse all the electronic components.
It is ideal to use a lift in order to remove the engine out of this vehicle.

Check out this basic guide to a engine removal:

I have attached all the steps required to remove and install engine on your vehicle.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
