Default V6 camry conversion?

I know that the tC has the camry 2.6 well has anyone ever thought of droping a v6 camry motor? The tC seems to have a pretty big engine bay if this kind of conversion was possible that would give the tC that extra muscle that its fat ___ needs.

I wouldnt see it being near worth the cost. I would rather have a turbo 2.4 than the v6 anyday, especially when you consider the amount of work and cash it would take to do it.

I agree. People overestimate the difference engine size makes, especially with an engine not much bigger than the stock one.

Turbo that thing.
