    will a a20a3 fit ?

    I was just curious if a a20a3 will fit in my 2g accord? what all is needed and will the head off a a20a3 work on my current motor?
    It's not about whats on the outside. It's about whats on the inside. It's about your heart slowing down. It's about riding that line between good and idiot. Because the truth is, it anint a hobby.

    The head will not work. Only the ES, ET and EZ motors will interchange heads. The A20 will drop right into a 2g Accord. You bolt the A20 to the ES2 transmission, and all the ES2 mounts to the A20 block and you're off.

    If you're swapping to fuel injection, you'll need the A20 harness, computer, manifolds, etc. Basically everything for the A20.

    MustardCat has done the A20A3 swap into the 2g Accord. Search for his thread and you'll see all the details. The power is impressive from what I've heard.

    Which 2G accord? Either way, yes. Just depends on you.

    If you can modify one motor mount, and make your own headers that clear the front crossmember, than it does. I just chose to build a crossmember that fit the headers.

    for real? damnit there was a cheap 82 hatch for sell for $100in ridgecrest it was pretty clean but the engine was blown i thought it would be much more work then just a mount and the headers
