My car's LE engine ceased so I am planning to swap the engine. I found an engine from 2000 Camry 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6 but my car is four cylinders will this engine work/fit my car? Are there any other engines that would be compatible with my car?

Not without major work. To make it work you would need to change out the wiring harness, dash, transmission, engine cradle, dash, PCM, TCM, BCM and possibly the fuel system as the V6 uses a different pump and controls, plus multiple other items like the cooling system, fans and more.
These days it can be hard just swapping in the same engine, let alone switching years, families and types.
