is it possible? Yes... Is it worth it? No.
The cost of swapping in the V6 motor would be well in the thousands. It would be more worth you're while to find an SVT, or one with a V6. A lot of people try to find pre98 SE's that had dead engines, then drop in the 3L, 95 is the best year to do this because of the OBD-1, and because the pre98 SE suspension was pretty much identical to the SVT suspension. So, the same drive, with more power for the same price.

Unless it's in great condition, don't pay that much.
