... and even then you have mounting issues, as well as the engine likely being way too large.

It will fit if you have a 5th gen V6 or newer car that is a V6. There are people who have swapped the J30 into 5th gens cause
1. it's way lighter (all aluminum versus cast iron block and aluminum head)
2. More ponies 170 vs 200 or 240

5th gen cars that are able to accept a newer V6 are 1995-1997 that have already have a V6. The V6 accord is 3" longer than the 4 cyl model and that is why the recipiant car has to be a V6 model to start for 5th gen.
any accord 1994 or earlier will not accept a V6 due to lack of space (1995 was the first year for accord V6) Edit you could make it fit if you wanted to completely rework the engine bay and front end.
