Default v6 to 4 cyl is it possible?

I have a 95 v6 accord and I was wondering if its possible to swap over to a 4 cylinder set up. My v6 motor is eventually going to blow up on me, the car has over 350k on it. Any and all info is appreciated.

Big expense. For 95-97, the whole nose of the car is longer for the V-6. I suppose it's not as difficult as stuffing a V-6 into a 4-cyl car. But still seems like you won't have any structure where the engine mounts need to go.

Definitely not worth it. For the amount of custom work that would need to be done, you'd be better off just selling the car, and buying a 4-cylinder one. 5th Gens are pretty affordable now.

Either that or just putting in another V6 from a bone yard.
