[ShyBoyCA6]

oh its might be possible but thing is money parts and time and i have a feeling some people might flame you but dont take it in a bad way go to the search and type in k20 swap

[dacantu]

yeah it is possible. but you need lots of time and money, and you will be the first to do it.

you can put a k20 in most other ondas now because companys make mounts for them.

but there arent any for the 3gee.

[ShyBoyCA6]

You are going to have disasters with certain things:

-Axles
-Hood/ground clearance
-Mounts
-Management
-Physical position in engine bay

Go hard.

axel's you could contact www.driveshaftshop.com or www.gaterracingaxles.com i got some custom made for the A20 that hold 600whp from driveshaftshop but they also cost 850 plus shipping and tax.

the hardest part is the position in the engine bay, you can always cut a hole in the hood if you have to.

I think it would be interesting to see but for the amount of time you would spend doing that I think other engines would be easier.

[MessyHonda]

buy it from him and then trade with some one with a gsr engine and then just get some mounts and drop in the gsr into the 3gee...much easyer to swap and you can get cheap bolt ons on it that make it a desent engine

i'm with messy on this i think the k motor sits to far forward in the bay so it might not fit, but hey i you what to try it would be wicked to see someone with it done!

[AccordB20A]

if they can fit an eg they can fit an accord

Vato go for it I saw a 240 with a v8 and a metro with a b16 in the junk yard the other day so you can do this just money and time some brains an you will be fine , O some one toll me that you can probably get some other heads for that about the clerance .

[stat1K]

if you're even asking the answer is you probably don't possess the skills necessary or the funds to do said swap. good luck.

The engine is really tall. Your oilpan will hang low because of where you need to place the transaxle for proper alignment.

[JohnBoy]

do you think that it is bigger then the CL 3.2? because I know a guy when i lived in Vancouver WA. with one in a 92 civic. is the 3g that much shallower then a civic?

[Edison Carasio]

Only way to tell is to get out the measureing tape and check I think.

Yes. The hood is also lower than the Civic's.

[JohnBoy]

well the hood he could cut, but the ground to oil pan for the axels to be lined up right?

[A18A]

mount it on a angle or something

Go hard.

axle problems can be solved by position, but options for position are limited.

Mounts - fab some

Hood - take it off, or mock up a hood and cut out where you need clearance for the head/valve cover/IM. Then use that as a stencil for YOUR hood (so your hood looks good, and it doesnt matter if you mess up the other)

Ground - meh

Management - kpro, and wire in all of your own harness with a K series fuse block, etc.

Hmmm, I think that might be my new sig quote.

[94blckhawaiian]

ths is what i was daydreaming about at work today haha. You can do a k20 swap into a 3g. Its gonna take alot of fabrication work for the mounts and the axles, bay would have to be fabbed too. Wiring would be a pita too, but if you feel you are going to be dedicated then go for it. Whats your buddy asking for the k motor?
