Default H22 into a V6 96 accord

I have seen a ton of H22A1 swaps in the 4cyl accords. But does anyone know if it will fit in a V6 engine bay. And if theres a way I'm open to any ideas. And if i cant do a H22 engine what other good engine swaps are there? Please any info would be great.

No a h22 swap wont fit without having to make custom mounts etc. I'm not aware of any engines that will swap in easily.

While you may be attached to your car in all honesty it is probably easier to just sell it and buy a 4cyl one.

Well I wish I could sell it but that not really an option lol. So do you know any where or any one that would make those mounts for me? Also what other problems would I run into when I try and do this swap?

everything would be a problem.
there is a reason (many reasons) why that swap is not done
it is not feasible and does not make any sense.
if your V6 is going bad your only option is another V6

1995-1997 V6 cars have a different engine bay, longer hood. If it was a 1998 it would've been a easier, but still no piece of cake.

No one makes the mounts, you would have to find a cnc company to make them yourself, and know the dimensions of what would have to be made(no walk in the park even for an experienced mechanic).

To put in a h22(or any other motor) you would be looking at a huge headache and a price tag 2 or 3 times that of what the car is worth.

Could I swap a 89 Acura legend engine(c27a) into my accord and be able to use the 5 speed from the legend also? Cuz I want a 5 speed and I was wondering if this could work. What parts would I need too?
