i've been reading around and i know the h22 is the most common swap. i was thinking about another route. would it be worth it (price, outcome) to swap a j30a4 (2003 and up v6 motor) into my 6th gen? i'm just looking to gather some ideas.

 

Is your 6th gen the V6 model? If not, don't even worry about it. The time, money, and effort required to squeeze that engine into the 4cyl.'s engine bay would'nt even be worth the outcome.

try it, h22 gain is so slim, for some of us, it's not even worth the 3 grands.

the new motor, not exactly sure but they are a tad higher i think, just look at the "crowning" on the hood.

 

i thought the v6 and the i4 had the same exact body. my engine bay looks like it could occupy so much more space

 

i'm not sure about the 6th gens, but i know for a fact that the 5th gen accord v6 body is larger by a few inches than the i4 body

 

The V6s i believe are a bit wider or longer or something, I remember reading up on that.

For the same money as an engine swap though, you could have more power by just turbocharging it.

Provided you have a manual tranny (swap would be about 10-1200 or so) you could boost 10psi on a stock block without worrying with a reasonably sized turbo, and you could tune it and get way more power than you ever would with a swap, without the extra weight of say a V6 swap
