without extensively modifying your engine bay and front end, you aren't going to have very good luck fitting either of those motors in your car...the 95-97 v6 accords actually had a longer nose to accomodate the v6...

what do you mean by stronger? if you are talking more power, just boost your stock motor...if you blow it, they are real cheap to replace...in terms of swaps though, you are basically stuck with the h22/h23 choices (that is for an easy fitment)...other than that, you could always try the k24 or something of that nature, but the fabrication and fitment issues probably wouldn't make it a worthwhile swap...i'd personally just boost your stock motor though...

I agree, with Nick H. Boosting your current F22 is better choice. F22 can handle a few lbs of boost on stock internals.

the problem you are going to have with swaping the v6 is the axles
the v6 accords like said before have a longer bay and the v6 is listed as a mid engine car because of the axle placement

what you should do is swap in the (if swaping is your thing) f22b dohc jdm motor,
the h22 dohc vtec motor or the h23 nonvtec dohc usdm motor.

but if you want to keep the block you have now boost it,
cast iron blocks love boost

alright!! but see i know i can drop a h22 in my accord without cutting and welding. but i heard that if you do that swap you need to change a few parts. i want to know what they are. if you know what i will have to modify please tell me. cuz i was told that if i stick the H22 in i might have to change my steering rods, and that im gonna need the rubber peices that go on the prelude mounts. Is it true or Falce??
