Default 05 escape motor swap

I have an 05 escape with a 2.3 4cyl auto all wheel drive that the trans went out of. I can not find a replacement in my area so I was thinking of just swapping the whole drivetrain to a v6 set up. I can find lots of them reasonable. Has anyone done this? What all needs to be change? Any info would help

I have never done that, but you could wind up with a real hair puller doing that since the electronics kinda get in your way at every turn.
