lol good luck puting the hood on...unless you cut a hole in it. haha....and from what i thought isnt the k20 bigger than the h22? if so...how the fuck are you going to put the exhaust on? and i can only imagine what vibrations will do to the thing lol.
K-series will exhaust out the rear of the head, with the intake on the front. There'll be tons of room for the exhaust. Just not the hood.
ICHIBAN!

custom cf hood ftw@@!!

Yeah exhaust shouldn't be too bad but you may need to make some adjustments to the firewall or the steering rack... that way the engine could sit closer to the firewall and the header and exhaust wont have to make more bends trying to go down and around the steering rack.
Also the engine further back should give you the most hood clearance.
If anything you can cut the intake manifold and weld it facing more down if it hits the hood.

no, to my knowledge, no one has put a k20 or any of the other k-series engines into a 3g accord. however, i have seen it done on an 85 civic. so if it's possible there, it should most certainly be possible on a 3g.
there are engine mounts out there, however none of them are for the 3g accord. you can try mounts from other cars out there and just mod them to fit. that's your best bet. but while you're at it, you do have several issues to overcome. first of all, everything is reversed in the engine bay as far as sides go. also, i believe our hoodline might be even lower than the ef civics. on the ef civics, the k-series swap usually sticks up above the hoodline an average of 1". if that's true, you might need to knock a hole in your hood or get a custom one with a dsm-style hump on the side. then, intake & exhaust are reversed, so you might have some fun w/ the rear crossmember/firewall. i think on the ef and eg (and maybe even ek) civics, you have to knock the firewall in a bit to get some of the exhaust systems to fit. you also have to hack up the floorpan to get the shift linkage to work right in the civics. and when getting the engine, make sure you get one that had a cable throttle, not the electronic dbw stuff. realistically, you're probably look at a $7000+ project, easily topping $10,000 if you do an engine build first. but, don't let me discourage you with numbers. if you can swing that kind of checkbook, then go for it. i think it's a noble pursuit and these cars are worthy candidates. there's plenty of style, originality, class and function here that you can't find in many other cars.Are there any engine mounts that are out there for this swap?

no offense, but you can find complete rsx-s swaps for half that price or even a third. i saw an 06 si swap complete for $3000 the other day. and the z1 has dbw, so you'd have to go around that too.
Trust me I know, my boss is very tight. I had an offer of $4k and begged him to let me take it and he won't budge off of $4500. After a month or two of it collecting dust he'll let me drop the price. I like to use the auction as a gateway for people to see our RSX store parts. According to Overture, it is working. Linking it in this thread will also increase it's link strength in Google.

I have around 7000 to spend on it... I know it gonna be really pricey... would there be any other way I could build it up that I could get more bang for my buck?
Oh btw I have a 87 hatch
The hood shouldn't be a problem I think

My b-swap touched the hood (untill i took a hammer to it) and I know the k sits higher then the B.
I thought you were selling the hatch.
its possible, try http://www.k20a.org/forum/ and ask around there.

Thats crazy you have exactly the same amount quoted by snoopy to get it done.
The hood doesnt matter, you'll be cutting a hole in it anyway to get the air rammed into those ITB's youre going to put on it
No newbie is going to pay $4k on an engine alone for the car he just bought for $500 last week.
i just came by honda and i checked out the si sedan...they want 22k.....so if you want a k20 go buy a civic use the 7k as downpayment

And drive something any idiot with decent credit can? K20 swap is about "look what I have mother fuckers".
