basically, the questions are:

1: has it been done before
2:what kind of fabrication woud be required if possible
3: would i be better off just to go with a k20a1 or a b18c5

You're not helping. It will most definately not be a straight bolt-in.

id go with a b18..

having a v6 in an eg is not crazy, but you'll end up spending money...i mean if you look at the engine and the engine bay it'll be a tight squeez and knowing the accords tranny..
Just dont do it.


that would be something though...if you were rich
