Default Engine Swap Question

I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX 2dr. 4cyl. 5sp. I was wondering if there were any way i could swap my 4cyl engine out for the more potent 240hp V6 and the 6speed tranny? I know its possible, and i also know its going to be a lot of work. But does anyone know where i could purchase a V6? Or any other kind of V6. I just want more displacement and more cyl. (BTW, i have researched and everything that popped up was about swapping out B-series and H-series, etc.)

Thanks for any help

-Will-

Search ebay for the engine.

You will have problems installing a K series into your car.

That's right. I assumed that you had a 6th gen.

So what is it about the V6 that you want.
Trade in your car.

Trade your car in on a v6 if you want one.

from wut i have read and heard, the 4 banger has alot more aftermarket support then the 6...so further down the road ur probably goin to be able to make more power with the 4, if u have the money that is...but everyone knows we're all poor or else we'd be driving porsches instead of accords =D
