2003 locked motor replacement

Hello. As the title implies I have a 2003 with a locked motor. I have heard that I can use a different year's model as a replacement. What years can I use for a replacement motor?

For a direct replacement It's best to stick with an 02-03 engine.

Almost anything that's 3.5 FWD lol.

"HR" swap is the only thing worth doing, though. The only exception would be if you know when they fixed the chains/guides in the revised DE like the one that comes in the 6th gen maxima.
