so, im thinking about getting a '00-'03 accord ex . my ideal accord would be a coupe with a 3.0 liter V6 and a 6 speed manual transmission, but after several hours of online searching i cant find one damn car with that for sale.
from what i've found in other posts i know that transmission swaps are possible, but difficult.
is it possible to put a V6 into an accord ex with a 4cyl and 6 speed manual transmission? and if so, would that be less work than swapping a transmission?
thanks in advance.
p.s. first post so go easy.

 

Well, the 2003 Accord is COMPLETELY different than the 2000-2002.

The 6th-generation (1998-2002) V-6 was onlyavailable with automatic, so that explains part of the story.

The 4-cylinder engine up to 2002 spins backwards and is located in the opposite end of the engine bay vs. the V-6. So that swap would be very difficult ($$$).

Even tho the 2003 4-cyl now spins the same direction as the rest of the world, and the same direction as the Honda V-6; I don't know how the tranny matches up for that swap.

 

Ok, I see. That certainly narrows down the options.
I guess now I should find out if the transmissions for the '03 will match up.
Thanks for the help Jim.
