Does anyone actually got this swap completely running beside this guy in this thread ? I've been thinking about this swap back and forth but not sure if its worth it knowing that I'm gonna spend a lot of $ and times into this swap . Also, I don't know if y'all know we can not use the photobucket anymore cause I think they asked us to pay so yeah all the photos were posted in any threads in the past are pretty much gone now.

There are only a couple of 5th gens with that swap that exist. I only know of two and you've seen one of them already. I believe both were done by the same shop with the second just making it's first appearance at a meet earlier this year. There was a lot of custom fab work in that build. Most of it related to the engine mounts. I believe most of the other stuff can be handle with the right mixing and matching of off the shelf parts. Is it worth it? Depends on how much you value money. It definitely improves performance drastically and changes the dynamic of the car. It will not be anywhere near as simple as dropping in an H22 or something. Hell for the cost of swapping that drivetrain into a 5th gen chassis you could buy a whole 6 speed CL-S and have a few mods on it too.

Alex was first person to do the swap, and is really the pioneer behind it. a few other people have done it around the country, but I know most of them dropped off the map for various reasons. Alex recently did the swap on our buddy Ed's red sedan too. His swap actually utilized a J35 motor from an Odyssey, and Accord manual transmission. Very similar though. And still a torque beast.

The swap isn't as popular, just because there aren't full kits to buy to make it simpler. One or two of the mounts you start with EK J swap mounts and modify them. But the others are full custom.Definitely doable, just more involved than other swaps.
