Nope, not that simple.... I looked into this myself for my 2000s model. The 3.6 L motors have Variocam II, which requires a DME version 7.8 or higher. Our cars have a 5.2 DME. In order to swap the DMEs, you also have to swap the key transponder (you may be able to reprogram this), the HVAC controller, the ABS controller, and redo the back brake line routing for 4 channel ABS.

You will also need to redo the fuel pump and lines, along with the intake and motor mounts.
