Smile 97 Atsina 4 cylinder to 6 or v6 conversion

Hey guys, iv got a 97' 323 Atsina 1.8L and I was wondering if anyone has done any kind of engine conversion on one of these. I was hoping to put either a straight 6 or a v6 in it. Any ideas?

To elaborate, the ecu, looms, sensors, mounts, intake, exhaust, gearbox plus engine, then 5 stud hubs brakes, cvs and wheels...

What V6 are you considering?
A 3500cc magna V6 would be interesting with all those extra ccs but you'd be pioneering the way.
