Default Just out of curiosity (swap related)

Ok, so I've read in here over and over again that the B-swap is dumb on account of a lack of torque. Just curious as to why everyone says this? A 5th gen EX is a sub 2900lb car, not too far off from the 6th gen Civic, or the the 3rd gen teg.

So why the dispair over torque? Again, just curious, not looking to do the swap per se, but with B20s costing virtually nothing, and B-series trannies having better gearing and shift feel...

Has anybody actually done it?

Ok, so let's say what you say is true. I still don't understand why you would want to put a B20 in an Accord.
