V6 swap is it possible

before anyone calls its just out of curiosity...i have a busy mind especially right before i go to sleep...so as i was going to sleep one night i wondered after reading about the tsx/rsx swap what if i swapped with a v6 accord or the tl (even better but more money) and got v6 power and v6 torque in the tsx...what kind of attention that would grab i haven't done alot of research on that engine but i dont think they have a s/c or turbo out for it correct me if i'm wrong...but with add-ons and keeping it n/a would still put me in real nice company as far as exclusiveness and hp maybe not the most but more than it has now...so the point is how possible do you guys think it is and would you do ignoring all understandable reason

Many have dreamed the dream, but if you search here you will find the answers. The big one is that the Accord / TL engine will not fit in the TSX bay.

Don't let that bum you out r33po4s, you just gotta think of a way to put the engine in the rear (lots of space in the trunk). That way it will be right next to the rear wheels for an easy RWD swap.

Now that's an interesting thought...

I always wished I had the money and time to turn my old 'Teg into a mid-engine monster. Could you imagine a TL Type-S engine where the rear seats are in a 'Teg...

... I am still holding out hope of all hopes that the 3.0 i-Vtec V6 (one going in to Accord Hybrid) is gonna be dumped in the TSX in 2008

If it was possible, I'd love to see a C5R 7.0L dumped in a TSX.

Can you imagine that?
