Default 96 Honda Accord V6 need to know what is the best engine swap?

I have a 1996 Honda Accord with a stock V6. I want to do a engine swap, but don't know what engine I should go with. What should I swap it with?

I've heard that too, atleast about the transmission swap--and I've heard good things a bout it myself.

But as sushi said, you're better off doing custom work--as I found out also. You won't find any exhaust system/header set up on ebay//magna flow or anything of the such. If you do, you're very lucky. Most of the work as sushi clearly said, will have to be custom work. You can get custom exhausts from magna flow, and some other exhaust system companies, I believe.

no luck in ever finding a swap unless you do custom work like everyone said. not much of a market out there for this motor,

you can do a 5 spd swap from the older legends
