The 4 dr. EG one on ebay was a 3.2L V6 legend motor. Like 92+. Much better design.
The honda 2.7L V6 engine found in legends and Sterlings is crap IMO. It wouldnt be even worth it to put in a what like 130hp motor that has very minimal tunning/modding possibilities??

And by the way you wont find hardley any info, (if any) on v6 swaps into civics. Its just not commonly done.
It would require too much work, cutting, money, time,etc, etc.

ya, I read up on the engines themselves after this post and it pretty much killed the hardon I got walkin through the wreckers "hmmm, that doesn't look much bigger than my B16". Aside from the one turbo kit I could find, there's not a heck of a lot out there for aftermarket support either.

no theres not a lot out there for the things, atleast for the 2.7L ones, but there is stuff out there for the NSX's 3L/3.2L V6, but putting one of those in a civic, HA... good luck man....

Yeah but your not factoring in mounting it. Also just the fact about the transmission. I dont even think it would fit into an civic engine bay, let alone an EF. Also the thing about the one that was on ebay was it had a porche tranny if i recall. Also if you were to do this the 92+ legend 3.2L would be much easier considering its the weird engine that sits in the bay like a rear wheel drive on but it has the front wheel drive transmission.
Someone tell me the proper term/what this is called.
