Default J30 swap?

I have an 01 Honda Accord 4 door sedan 4 spd Auto trans. I was wondering if I could put a J30 in it no problem. If not, what all would I need to do, I know you can't get too greedy with power on this tranny, but I wanna know if this swap would be possible and reliable. Thank you in advance.

I've seen this topic come up many times before. I don't think anyone ever went through with it. reason being the car is already available the way you want it, and with bigger wheels, bigger brakes, stiffer springs, stiffer sway bars and the right radiator, wiring, ECU.. and the list goes on.

the point is that it's 100 times easier to sell your 4cyl equipped Accord and buy a V6 equipped Accord than it is to do the swap/conversion you're asking about. is it possible? absolutely. it's just not practical.
