you already got a v6, why would you wanna go h22? an h22 wont work in a v6 bay anyway cause i think its 2 inches wider the a 4 cylinder bay.

Well there's a few reasons why you shouldn't do the swap.

1) The bays are reversed (battery is on driver's, etc)
2) The front end is 3 inches longer (don't know about it being wider though)
3) Wiring is diff

If you want to do a H22 swap, I'd sell the V6 and get then 4cyl which is MUCH more easily done.

If you're talking about the 5 speed swaps for the V6 it was from an older (the boxy style) Vigor or Legend - I can't recall off the top of my head. But I know of only 2, one in Canada and one in Texas. Lots of custom **** to get it working. But those cars had a V6 with a 5speed available.
