i dont think it is.. becuase of motor mounts and the way teh engine is placed in the bay but is it possible to swap a C32B1 motor into a car designed for a C27A4 motor?

I don't know for sure, but I seem to remember a shop somewhere offering a 5-speed conversion for the 5th gen V6 using an NSX gearbox, so it might be worth a google to find them to try and glean some info.

BTW, you know those motors cost more than your left nut, right arm, and tonsils all coated in gold right?

Not too sure on the name of the shop. I took a passing interest since it was a fifth gen accord, but didn't look too hard since my car is an I-4. Maybe a little searching on H-T will help too.

My gut feeling says it won't be *that* hard. The mounts might not be 100% the same, but you are dealing with a round peg and a round hole. Just bend over really far to source the drivetrain, and save an extra grand or two for a set of custom headers.

There is only like two people that I can recall that have done this and it was from a old school Vigor or Legend I believe (like from the 80's/early 90's)
