I already have a 2000 Accord SE. All stock except for a few cosmetics on the outside. I'm considering a J30A engine swap....does anyone have any experience with installation, modifications, or performance results with this particular swap? I already know that I'll have to replace the transmission, axles, and computer. I just need to know about the pros and cons...

 

I hear our firewall (on the I4's may not allow clearance w/o major modification, I may be wrong.) Never ever ever heard of this being done, only many inquiries.

 

im not sure if the 6th gen's 4 cyl engine bay will allow for a j engine, but i know the 5th gen I4's cannont recieve the C27 w/o lots of modification.....redneckdave should be able to answer your question for sure

 

i heard the only difference is the subframe... (again, this is just hearsay)

problem is, there's not a damn thing in the engine bay that doesn't need to be moved. the accessories and all associated components (battery, abs, abs lines, a/c, power steering, etc.) for the V6 are on opposite sides. in other words, it's a CRAP load of work.

I can get the parts dirt cheap almost brand new, and labor isnt really that big of a deal. Thanks for spreading the word.
