Default j30 swap in 94 sedan

So I'm new to this.
But I wanted to know if its possible to take all the running gear out of a 7th gen accord and dump it in my 4th gen.
My buddy is giving me a j30 vtec pretty much for free along with all the running gear.
I was just wondering if its possible.

I bet it would be horrendously expensive. Mostly because I think it won't fit so you have to do some serious fabrication.

The 1995-1997 V-6 Accords were built with a bigger engine bay than the 4-cyl cars.

Well I'm thinking the only clearance problem would be with the firewall.
But it might be a k24a4 I haven't looked yet he just told me ikt was a v6 7th gen accord so I guessed.

I'll find more out then repost.

even the k24 will be a bit expensive to swap in your gen engine bay. Ask live2rice he was building a k series engine and parted it out when he realized how much it was going to cost just to get the engine in the engine bay plus the extra cost for ecu and ect. ect. So he gave up with it and parted everything out and cut his losses.

Yea I'm doin a little reaserch and am debating it.
I mean I have all the stuff id needd to cut into the firewall and make everything look fancy.
But ylouve given me a stroke of genius.
I could part all that stuff out and hello h22 swap.
Well money towards it atleast.
I wouldn't have as much torque but the hp will differ cause the h22 is about 100 pounds lighter.
