v6 accord engine
To put a J engine in a Civic? I dunno... that thing takes up a lot of space. I bet it's heavy as hell, too. The one with the 6-speed carries the Accord across the quarter in 14 1/2 secs. You could seriously throw the weight distribution off if you pulled off putting a 3.0 V6 in a lil EM2.

If you haven't noticed by now, the K20 engines were actually meant for the 7th Gen Civic's engine bay.

If some one put a K24 engine into a civic, the weight distribution will be off. Even with a K20 engine, the weight is off. But of course the K20 engine does not weigh nearly the amout the K24 does. Its the same if you put a 94-97 accord engine in a 92-95 civic. Of course the prelude engine fits, but have you looked in the engine bay. The H22 takes up a little less room than a F20? (accord engine). Now a 6th gen civic has to shave and modify the engine bay for a H22 to fit, and then it barely fits. Its basically the same logic.

Rep Power: 0 Anything can be done with money. But it will be expensive, throw off your weight ratio. And it will be an engine that has less parts out for it than a D series motor. If you are swapping an engine its because you want to swap it for a more popular more powerful motor...
