What would it take to put a 94-97 Accord V6 into an LX with nonvtech 4?

[typerudel]

has anyone does this? if so, how did it work? cost? any info is appreciated. i was thinking about an H22, but if i can get a V6 for cheaper and maybe put some mods on it...anyways, any thoughts?

hummm, think that motor only cam in auto, so if you have auto right now, it shouldn't be too hard a swap. but the v6's that came in that model weren't that good, I don't think it would be worth the trouble. if you had a newer accord, that v6 would be a little better than what you have now.

personally, I'd just go with the H22A unless you got a really good deal on the v6 motor.

i do have an automatic. what is wrong with that year's v6? also, what about a newer model 4 cylinder vtec?

[candymanjl]

I just remember those model year v6's being slow that's all. so if you were to do all the work of a swap, you'd want to see a big improvement.

the newer model vtec accord motor does have more HP than your current motor.

on the newer engine...would that be a direct swap? also, what is the availibility of aftermarket parts?

[candymanjl]

I would think it would be an easy swap, since it's a "F" series motor. there's a good supply of parts for that motor, turbo kits, pistons, rods, cams, etc.

any idea as to a price range for the engine?

[candymanjl]

I wouldn't know, it varies so much depending where you are. down here, it would be pretty cheap since there's millions of hondas. I wouldn't pay too much, figure a H22A swap is $2,200, so if you get close to that amount, just get the prelude swap instead.

you can find a newer f series motor for around 500-1000 on ebay and some local shops around here. Tyr ebay first though.

dude just get the h22a. The 95-97 v6 are crap and there only automatic and the trannys suck on em. Plus there like 170hp and 145 tq (c27a)

Compared to a 190 hp and like 140 tq h22a

How much would you have to pay to get a H22 put into a 96 accord?

I've got the shows....now i need the goes.

[accordy2g]

2500 for the motor and if you pay for installation 500-700 or do it yourself if you know how to.

If you got the cash.... get that done!
