Default 2003 Accord motor fit in 99 lude?

sorry, I don't know the motor lables for the accord so I didn't know what to search. Is it possible to put the 2003 Accord 3.0 V6 VTEC motor in a 99 lude? If I took the tranny too? I think that would be bad ***. i love the looks of the lude, but that V6 VTEC motor seems killer. What would something like that cost? what all would i have to do, and where could I get the motor and tranny? anybody?

god...

What is wrong with the H22?

The answer is you can do whatever you want if you have the money. Although that motor would require tons of fabrication of custom mounts and such. Not to mention the excess stress it would put on the prelude suspension.

That VTEC is SOHC. It doesn't have the "kick" although there is an activation point. Why don't you just buy a freakin' Accord?

IBTL.

i haven't ridden in the new accord. so because it's a SOHC the vtec kick isn't as good as the DOHC motors?
