V6 for a 2001 civic?

I was thinking about dropping a V6 into my 2001 civic but I don't know what engine would fit best, if anyone has any suggestions just let me know

I wish you luck.

This kind of project seems like it'd be more expensive than it's worth

^What he said x2

It'd be a very one off build, but I don't think the performance would justify the cost of something of that caliber.

Re: V6 for a 2001 civic?

I've seen a V6 fit into a civic engine bay.. I think it was a random build thread on this forum. I can't remember which engine it was, but it was a hella tight fit..

edit: not a 7thgen chassis, but here's a J32A2 under the hood of an EJ6 (1996 DX Hatch)

all one need to do is to go to the magazine shop and buy a magazine.

V8? Yes it is doable. Make sense, no way to 99% of people. Cool, absolutely. Expensive OH YEAH.
