I hear all the time about people swapping the H22 into accords. Has anyone put the Accord V-6 motor into a prelude yet? Shouldn't it pretty much just bolt right in?

nope never heard of being done yet.It wouldn't be a bolt-in affair because the accords that people swap the h22a into are all 4 cylinder accord not v6 accords.

I haven't really taken a look at the engine bays, but i would have thought the mounts would be in pretty much the same place. Anyone with more experience with accords know for a fact?

Accord V6 -200hp

Prelude H22a - 200hp DOHC VTEC

why?

That'd be a pretty mean Prelude with the torque. I don't know as for swapping it in due to the V6 accord's chassis is just a little bit wider than the 4 cyl accords, and I believe the mounting points are also different.

If you were serious about it, you'd have to mainly compare the engine bay's, do measurements, and have custom mounts made.

and the v6 is an automatic (till next year when the 6speed comes out)

lighter...but it's a bad idea

Oh if you mean those V6 motors...

well anyways it's a cut and weld job...anything's possible with money....for the amount it will cost I would rather have an NSX motor in there with a RWD conversion

the accord v6 sits in the opposite position as the 4cyl. the trany is on thedriversideand alot more is different. the mounting points are all different
