That would be a waste of time and money b/c there is little to no aftermarket prowess for that engine! Don't waste your money on that ish, drop an H22 in that bish!!!!

Well if anyone wants to GIVE me an H22 I would love it. If anyone wants to help me, than great. I have a 3.2l legend engine waiting for a home. This is why I asked. Anyone have any info or can help me, thanks. If you just want to ask why or any other comment that wont help, then please do not reply. Thanks.

talk to placeracing they did a v6 swap in a 95 civic coupe yrs ago.. any of the v6's will fit i did my home work yrs ago but the cost of doing it was way to high so i did the b18c swap.
good luck

Thanks! Do you mean the cost was too high to put the engine in? Or was the cost to high because you had to buy the engine as well?

y not just sell the 3.2 which are not cheap motors, and then use the money for a easier B series or maybe H series swap. considering the modifications... tranny for one,custom mounts,wiring,custom shiflinkage its not gonna be cheap,probably anywhere from 4gs and up. i mean dont get me wrong i wish i could do this myself then add a nice turbo kit but this is all mucho $$$

also take this for example. the now easier to install h22 back in the days cost my friend about 6gs to swap into a hatch,custom almost everything had to be made and this was not including the price of the motor.
