Alright here's the question, I can get my hands on the v6 from a CD for pretty much free. the engine bay's are pretty close to the same size, has anyone pondered this swap? I wouldn't be asking if I could find a thread on here about it.

its not worth it. the swap costs would be insane, and IIRC the V6 engine bays in the CD accords were different . . . ie longer (i think they were actually chassis code CE along with the wagons) -
at my job the other day we had a 3.0cl. its the same front suspension right with a cb/cd. a 2.3cl motor will fit in a cb right? so why cant a v6 we put into a cb? it has just about the same room, i dont see a problem with that. if honda had a 5spd v6 alot of people would be doing this swap. just my 2 centsComment

lol I didn't really plan on doing it, just something that crossed my mind lol I don't like the sounds of V6's not as import as a 4 and not as muscle as a v8Comment

if you go for it, you're doing it for the sake of being different -- i looked into this myself when I was going to have a J30 available to me for free - one that has head work and all sorts of extras -- but you'll face mounting and cooling, as well as weight issues - it's more to get into for uniqueness and not easy power gain
search the archives, youll find an old thread i started about the whole thing
have fun and good luck either way
***EDIT HERES THE THREAD****J30 SWAP and let me know if you have any other questions, i did a lot of research into the idea, so pick my brain if you want

oneoffaccord, there isn't the same amount of room. The front end on the V6 models was stretched a little to allow for the V6. A lot of racing teams got V6-bodied cars and put H22s in them to allow for more room in the engine bay which I'm guessing is the case of the one in your sig, depending on the class it's in.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment

from my measurements comparing a cb to a cg (98 accord), you actually have about the same nose to firewall, but a little more pass to driver on the cg than the cb - the difference is that the firewall sits a little further behind the edge of the windshield, if that makes sense -- however, the difference is negligibleOriginally posted by Jarrett

Yeah good point. Although personally I'd take a J over a C if i were gonna go through with this - but good pointOriginally posted by ACC0RD22

just to peak your interest, there was an cb wagon at HIN a couple years ago and it had the legend swap...
