Can you?

Yes

Is it a complete waste of time?

Yes

95-97 came with a V6 option, if you want one just go that route, but the power output for both of those v6's suck and aren't worth the extra weight.

The 99 accord motor will not fit into the 94 accord without a lot of custom work.

The 95-97 accord came with a v6 but it was a c series motor. The 99 is a j series motor.

the 94-97's have a different front end, the V6 being longer
that being said somewhere on here there is a 89-91 civic hatch w/ an accord v6 motor
it's just a question of how much you want it

if u want a v6 accord, just buy one with the 6cyl in it (the swap is almost as usless as doing the lx to ex conversion IMO) but like muff said, the power aint worth the weight. go with the h22 or just boost ur current f22.

the v6's out of the cl-s, 08 accord, and the TL are worth the weight.

But again they wont fit easily into the 94 accord.

I think i'm going to cry.

LOL.

The poor v6's for the 96-97 are worthless. Hell, even I know. But yeah, they're right. It's not worth the swap. You're better off just buying one with the v6 already in it... but if you do, be prepaired to have alot of custom work done for any aftermarket mods. Trust me, I paid a hefty sum just to get where i'm at.

it's heavy and a waste when you can get complete h22a for 1,200 than a v6 from 1999 which would cost close to two grand. And also h22a has same power and it's lighter which + much more spped plus it's an drop in.
