Default v6 swap

Hello everyone,
I have a 91 accord ex with a f22 an auto trans. Its getting into the higher miles, over 200k, andI was wondering if i could swap in some kind of v6 honda (c27 or others)
What would be involved, what parts would i need. I know where i can get a 5th gen accord with c27 auto. Is it worth it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

no cant be done(realistically) and no reason to be done(v6 5g is .1 faster in the 1/4mile than a 5g ex.)

if you want power just swap in a H series motor.

not much, pretty straight forward, need to modify your stock wiring harness, replace the timing belt side motor mount, a little exhaust work.

just google h22 accord swap, there are 100 guides on doing it.

Cool, thanks man. Another question. What year am i looking for. Also my dad owns an exhaust/mechanic shop so we should be able to do a swap no prob. Just a little confused with what goes into doing the neccessary wiring

not in a 4cyl bay, the v6 accords engine bays are a few inches bigger, and engine mounts are in a different location.

I used to not be a believer in the F22(probably why I have an H).

But I have seen some make good power(500 or so).

just takes a turbo, and they have iron sleeves stock unlike the H.
