nippon-motors.com
its the c27a motor...

yeah i want to put in my 87 accord dx. i think it can be done with not too much work and make mine very bad. right now i am doing just my home work on the legend.

thanks od2681. you have been the most help.

yeah your right and they are in cali too. i will go up there and check them out. see if they have ever did a swap like this and can they do it for me. i'll keep you updated. Devildogg out.

aight man...give me the info..cuzz we got a legend in the house but its crappy but when it did run..it kicked the crap out of my car

Interesting swap... I hope you can get this doen or at least come up with the why and why not's.

i'd thing you would need to either section out the front end making it longer, or set back the fire wall. thats what honda did to make the 5th gen accord V6. its just slightly long on the nose end. i had thought of that idea also, and considering other 4 cylinder engines, i dont think its worth it. but i can say go for it because that would be tight as hell!

I was pulling apart one of those legend V6 engines today. With swapping it in, your main problem is that the engine sits the opposite way from the accord engine. The transmission is on the right side (looking in from the front) and the alternator/PS/belts are on the left side. As for clearance, it may physically fit into the bay if you move all the stuff at the back of the bay.

wait a second, i was looking at the displacement you put. its a 2.5 litre V6, so thats the C25 engine, thats for the 86-87 i guess.
