Not a good swap choice. Doesn't have the torque to pull a heavy car like the Accord. I've heard of a couple people putting B series into 89 and older Accords because they are smaller but thats it.

And if you did search you would have found other similar threads. It seems like there is one of these every week.

yes, it would fit.
yes, you would probably have to make custom motor mounts
yes, you will be lacking in torque
no, its not worth it.

If you want DOHC, your further ahead to stick with H series or a DOHC F series.

Not only the mounts would have to be custom but you will need to modify the shifter location to mount the different shifter and possibly even modified linkage.

not to mention axles would need to be custom made.
