would a H22 swap be a good idea for my 1999 V6 accord? i mean the car is heavy and im down grading in HP but i just want it to be 5 spd.

however, its not worth it, because your car is a v6 so it makes the swap harder/more epensive, and its a 99 so have fun getting it to pass inspection

Also there is a legality issue with installing engine from an older model car into a new one. So any 98 or older h22 will be considered an illegal swap (emissions wise) on your 99. Again, this is only a problem if your state has emissions inspection.
I believe this info is correct, but others please correct me if I am wrong.

HELL TO THE MOTHERF***ing NO!the V6 possesses more torque!and you do realize that to get a H22 with 5 speed AND then after installation is going to actually cost you around the same as to changing your V6 to 6 speed.....look plain and simple. either sell your V6(seeing how V6 hasa higher value then theI-4)and get an I-4 with manual or keep it auto or do the 6 speed manual because that right there is just plain nonsense. and yes it would be a downgrade, just because an engine PRODUCES 200Hp it doesn't necassarily mean that he'll be getting those to the wheels..

The engine bay of the v6 is not bigger than the 4cyl on the 6thgen accords. That only applies to the 5thgen accords.

and they are both rated for 200hp and i know that obviously whp is diff than bhp, but i'm saying race that v6 vs a h22 accord and see what wins.
