Default V6 Prelude

Here's a thought. If the f22a fits into both a Prelude and an Accord, and the v6 c27a4 fits into an Accord, then why not c27a into a Prelude? Imagine the power curve with that kind of torque. Swap shouldn't involve completely custom fabrication, and any complaints of lack of power can be resolved by twin parallel turbos feeding off both sides of the exhaust. Why not?

clearances and weight might be an issue....that'd be fun to say i've got a sixer prelude though. you might get flamed for asking this, but then again they did put a 350 in a ford focus..

The accord v6 is longer and bigger from windshield forward. You cannot just drop a j series into the f series chassis of an accord. But, if you got the green to burn, try it, and post pics.

From 95-97. But after some research, it seems that Slow is right in that the Accord V6 body is longer than one with the f22a and has different engine mount locations. Which is why h22a accord swappers prefer the I4 body over the V6.

What does this mean?

Anyway, the advantage to using the v6 accord chassis for h22 swap is that you can mount the engine further back in relation to the front wheels to get a better weight distribution set midship.

Do some reading on mugen/spoon 5gen accord.
