    would the 6 from the 6th gen accord mount in? would be cool if it did... would be harder than an h22 swap(or at least as hard), and there is a lot less aftermarket

    you could always chop up your body and put it on a frame with a big block... very possible, but forget handling... would take well over 10 grand to do, just in parts

    it's like it says in the FAQ "you can put any engine into anything, as long as you have the money"

    it was a V8 in a 4g, but also know it was not a FWD after that, it was a RWD. when was the last time u pulled up to an accord and see the front wheels come off the ground when the light turned green. hehehehe, thats sick huh?. A 6th gen V6 wont fit in ur 3g besides, i would think one would be brain dead to even think of one cause can u get hold of a engine like that? :P

    The one from the legend should be fitting in somewhat, but i dont know. I am interested in the 2.7L v6 from the legend, if it would ever fit.

    it doesn't have but 161 horsepower but it has a lot of torque. thats what is so hard to get in a honda. I'm not sure about the weight,but it being an all aluminum engine vs. the steel block on our engines,the weight penalty isn't that much.

    you can make that much hp on a a20 but you would have to rebuild it with high performance parts....i think 140 hp is the max for a stock engine.

    so i dont remember if that was a 2.5 or 2.7, but it was one of those in that picture above. did they ever get that thing going or was it a lost cause? that would have been cool, but i havent heard anything about it in months.

    its not a bad engine but by the time you swap it in, then mess around with performance parts you would have been far ahead in the speed and wallet department with a turbo A20

    i think that one's a c27a = 2.7. but there was a c25a as well. from what i hear, he got it to the point of completion and i think i heard it started, but it had to be smogged or something like that and wouldn't pass with that engine and the guy doesn't want to spend the trouble to swap it back to stock then back yet again. ask thegreatdane, he probably is the best source of info for this.

    Re: Has anyone put 6cly in 3gee?

    if we can put a b series in our cars, why dont we just boost the shit out of a b20? i mean Full-Race makes some serious turbo kits for the b series engine. check them out.

    Whos got a boosted b20 in their 3gee?

    so thats it? so swapping in a b20 from a CR-V would be fun enough. But im a speed fuh-reak. and got the dough to boost one. could the chassis handle a boosted b20 though? like a abonoxious boost setup?

    Re: Has anyone put 6cly in 3gee?

    No way. Have any of you ever been in a 2.7 legend coupe? It's only when it reaches over 60mph that you can tell the difference between the easy-to-swap B20A and the C27A, which in the car I drove was 180HP

    I do wonder about the turbo C20A though, 190HP
