You will need the engine
You will need to mod the wiring loom
You will need another ECU
You will need to check with insurer as they may void your insurance

If you are going to buy a v6 Astina
Do you really need to change the engine immediately
There are upgrades

Yeah I had thoughts on Kl-ZE auto swap as the Astina Ht I 'got is auto. used by my family so auot only. I found a whole Mx-6 front cut with viscus LSD.
Got sold before I made up my mind. but according to engineer here in NSw he said brake pad up grade only as the discs are bigger then on the Mx-6.
He said it's basicly only a engine capacity up size - like making a 304 a 355.

The thing is Do you buy a whole Astina, if you can you get a V6 smashed slighlty or engine blown. even eunos 500 I've seen some engine No good $2000 and they have imaculate ineriors etc. and they are just the same as a Ba astina.

BA V6's don't end up in the damaged car auctions too often in NSw but I know in vic -WA heaps have gone through.
