no unless you cut off the whole front end and weld on the front of a V6 car. There is a 3" difference between the V6 and I4 (V6 front end is longer).

haha, if he's looking for some power (why else go from a 4cyl to a v6?), go with a turbo on the f22b1 or b2. It's that or h22 and price wise, it's much cheaper to turbo

V6 in that car is heavy cast iron variety. Not many mods available for it. The big advantage is


butter smooth acura engine
4spd auto that is built like a tank
quietness even when under WOT
