Default 3.0L V6 in '98 Hatch

i'm going to put the accord 3.0L in my hatch. i havent figured out why yet but it sounds fun. i've seen the 3.2L in an EG once. i picked up a wrecked v6 accord for super cheap and thought i'd have some fun.

i've searched the forum for a while now and cant find much info on it at all, whick isnt surprising to me at all considering the swap. didnt kno if anyone knew of any web sites with some good info or had any pointers themselves.

i'll hopefully be starting a build thread here shortly but was just seenin if anyone had any more info.

thanks

i was lookin at hasports website just out of curiosity, and just as i though, nothin. most likely everything will have to be custom made.

This is actually a swap I wanted to do over winter time if I find a shell I want to use.

I'm not going to give out too much info...but there is no driver's side upper mount on those engines. Wire harness is one piece like the EK. Front mounts are terribly designed- a solid rear, the stock passenger upper, and some sort of mounts for the drivers lower mounts would be wise.
The manifolds are of horrible design. I was going to go with custom headers and a straight dual exhuast

it does...I honestly can't imagine how much it would rip. The 6 sp with a shorter final drive, due to the smaller tire diameter, is going to be crazy!

1st and 2nd gear are probably gonna be pointless. its def gonna be a highway car unless i got some nice sticky tires on it.

o, i kno. between me and a couple of friends, we should be ok. the one dude has put a small block chevy in just about anything he could. so hopefully a 3.0L in a Civic shouldnt be much more difficult. at least i'm hopin, tryin to be optimistic. i'm sure the end result will be worth the blood, sweat and tears that will be goin into the project.
