hasport might have the mounts (not sure). Also, look onto k20a.org, much more information than in this forum, along with the Hybrid forum.

HASport has done a K24 swap out of the TSX with the 6 speed transmission, the mounts may be similar to the K20. I would think the 2.4 would be a better choice for our heavier accords.....

Back on subject, I'd contact HASport and make sure...

2.0L is a little small for a 3000lb car

Not to get too off this topic, if 2 liters is a bit small for a 3000lb car, why is the F20B getting popular?

no one in their right mind would put a F20 in a 6th gen. Most go FI on current motor or H22a/23 swap. F20 is fine for a 3/4th gen car but even those guys go H22a route if they can

Man if I had a k series engine laying around I'd put it in.I have two 4gens but still.
K series engines are cool.I'm sure if you have torque problems you could just boost the k20.

or you could just sell the k20a you have access to and put the money into buying a k24

jsut to comment, ive seen a 89-90 civic hatch around my local car club meets that had a k20 in it, so if they can put one in there, im sure you could fit one into a 6th gen.

You can make anything fit...but as mentioned your making a 2.0L pull a 3000 lb car as mentioned. Even the stock 6th gens came with 2.3L 4 bangers.
