Default swapping engines

i have an 03 accord 4cyl sedan and was wondering about putting a v6 in it. i dont see why it would be a problem since there are v6 sedans but i know nothing about this kinda of stuff. just wondered if its possible before i go buying stuff for the 4cyl. or if it would even be worth putting one in, or if there is another engine that would work. thanks

Would take alot of work, and if its like my gen accord, the v6s have a completely different engine bay set up, and the bays are actually bigger int he v6s. I dont know why you would want to swap out a k series motor however, it is one of the greatest motors Honda has made.

300HP is not -a little more power-

Best bet for the K24 is a K20A2 head, SRI and Hondata K-Pro.

Cylinder head... The thing that houses all the valves and valvetrain and camshafts and intake/exhaust ports.
