Would accord 2003 engine work?

Just wondering if the new v6 accord engine and tranny would fit into a 97 3.0? If so how much do you think it would cost.

im pretty sure the answer is NO and a 3.2j series engine would prob be easier, but by no means easy. ill check the accord forums. im not too familiar with the new accord

The j30a4 block is shorter. I'm not sure if this translates into different motor mounts/location.

You certainly would need to change the wiring harness and ecu, even if you got it bolted in.

why does everyone insist on puting v6's into this car? there is only one offical honda drag/touring car that is a v6, and that's the nsx. all the rest are 4 bangers. why does honda do this? because there is more after market parts for the h22 and the truth is, if you spent the same money on a v4 as you did in just throwing in the v6, you would blow any stock v6 away. save your money and throw a h22 into the car, take the rest of the money you would have spent and build up your car.

Seems to me it would be easier to put a new accord J30 or even a Type-S 6 cyl. into my car than an H22. I understand your argument for a stock 4 cyl model, otherwise we're just losing torque putting in an H22
