My motor is shot. What kind of motors will fit in a 97 accord? I need a motor

 

Do you have a LX, DX, or EX accord?

 

Lx 97 accord. What kinda motors will fit?

 

I use car-part.com to cross reference donors. Looks like only 96-97 LX, DX are donors.

Car-part.com and ebay are good sites to locate a used motor.

Don't be tempted to upgrade to later model or different engine type. We regularly get posters who've tried this w/ problems frequently occuring.

good luck

 

Is was wondering if tha 3.0 will mount? Any suggestions on motors?

 

The V6 from the 95-97 accords will not fit into your engine bay. Even though the V6 and 4-cylinder accords look the same, the V6 had a bigger engine bay to accommodate the V6.

Stick with the 96/97 engine that is the LX or DX to make this pretty simple. The F22B2 engines are pretty rock solid as long as you maintain them.

Even installing a 96/97 EX engine (F22B1) with 15 more HP will require some modifications. That would involve getting a new PCM and modifying some of the wiring to get vtec to work. There are probably some other things that are different that I am forgetting.

 

Ya I think tha V6 wont work. I might go wit F22B1 and do tha mods. Its my main ride but now its my project car
