I guess it could fit but it's not advised or worth it unless we're talking about 3rd gen Accords.

I heard of people upgrading, not downgrading.

yeah anything is possible. but that would be useless. no torque. i have a civic with a built ls in it. and it would be useless in my accord. power to weight

no no no accords are heavy thats why they come with the f22 or h22 both of which are a 2.2L they have the extra liters to push the extra weight DO NOT go with little b16 (1.6L) or b18 (1.8L) your best bet is to go with the f22, h23, or if its v-tec that you want then go with the h22.

Don't forget the ones in europe, some of them came with a SOHC F20B.

But throwin a b-series motor into a 4th, 5th, 6th, is sorta like having 4 huskies pulling a snow sled, then swappin out for 4 chihuahuas, a bit of a different noise, same amount of dogs, just not quite the same kick when the need is there.

exactly ... and the reason being that b series don't have enough torque to back up the horsepower in our heavy grocery getters ...

haha you guys are harsh! but right.

it really isn't worth trying to put a bseries in an accord 4th gen n newer. plus you could get a f, h22, f20b swap for less then what it'd take to do a bseries swap.
