Icon2 What motor to swap??

hey all, I have a 2005 Honda Accord EX v6 6 speed with a blown motor. I am trying to figure out what motor I want to swap into it, which is the best, fastest, and easiest to install? I was looking at call J35a8 out of a 2005 to 2008 Acura RL. Is this a doable swap? Any input and advice would help a lot. Again, I'm looking for the fastest motor possible that I can throw into my 7th gen 6MT

Anything besides what you already have is going to require A LOT of changes to the wire harness, ECU, bell housing, etc etc. Anything is possible, its about how MUCH do you want to go, not how FAST you want to go.

Easiest to install would be another J30. Like 94vtec said, everything else will need some work to make it happen. The J30 will drop in with all your existing sensors, etc. Now, if you want, you can definitely swap in that J35, repin your harness ECU harness for a TL ECU out of the 07-08 and then have it set up for Hondata. Quite a bit more involved with that swap.
