    You can put any engine into these Accords. All you need to do is make engine mounts, get axles made, make a shifter linkage, wiring harness so it works, and other misc things. It won't be cheap.

    VTEC-E is a version of VTEC designed for economy. IIRC, there are no VTEC-E motors in the US. It's a lower-powered motors that switche cam profiles at low RPMs and somehow it helps with gas mileage. It's kinda like the K20A3's i-VTEC.

    vtec-e is the engine you take out of a car, not the one you put in lol.

    Forget the C20AT too, you would need to find one that's been very well looked after or you would end up with a lemon. Fuel consumption would be high, higher than a B20A. Is your car 5 speed or auto? Changing to a 5 speed will make the car faster and also make it better on gas.
