Default Is it Feezable to Swap an Differnt V6 into a Legend?

Was wondering on behalf of legend owners if :
it is possible to run a more reliable motor in a legend? Aka an Accord V6 , v6 vtec or even an H22, h23 or F series?
Legend.com didn't have much in that info.

cause the stock type 1, 2 engine in the 91-95 Blows headgaskets and it costs a fortune to repair, and in most cases it is better to buy a salvage complete engine and put it in!

3.5 RL motor (C35). They're available cheaply as there is little demand for them, and the swap is pretty straightforward. You have to make a custom motor mount bracket for the pass. side mount, that's about the only fabrication required.

so the next generation motor is the only variation being done?
Does that motor have a reliable Head gasket?
Maybe it was just a poor cooling system in the 91-95s that blew the headgasket!
I found another legend , they look sooo good.. and the engine reliability was my major hangup w/ my last one.
