no one believes us!

OK guys, my husband's forum is really harsh, www.v6accord.com, and I sure you guys are a little more open-minded....our friend just put a 3.5L engine and 3.2L heads (both from different year Odesseys) in his 3L v6 accord. NO ONE BELIEVES US! We have posted pics and I am going to set up the attachment for them below-
People are saying we photoshopped the pics and it would not fit- well it is the virtual same engine and people are also saying how could he get these parts- helps that he is service mgr at Honda
Since everyone here is cool I thought I would post the pics and see what you say (and no we are nowhere near a dyno and no we cannot post video as his forum is asking us to)
What does everyone think???????

(tell me if the attachment won't go through, it was giving me trouble yesterday)

Hey rscivic does your husband work at D'ella Honda? And did he have a white 4-door Accord? My digital camera takes about a minute worth of video and I am only a little over an hour away from you if no one still believes you.

Actually it is our friend but yeah, he is at D'Ella honda. The 4dr accord was owned by the owner but my husband's is a white coupe and our friend w/ the sick engine drives a silver one.
And, yeah it does sound wierd that 3.2L heads fit but the Odessey made a 3.2 one year and then went to a 3.5 another so everything is pretty much interchangeable. Like a CRV is the same engine as the Prelude so the supercharger they make for the Prelude works on the CRV (my old car).
The torque is unbelievable, they took it out last week and he banked the needle @ 150mph.
Thanks guys, it is nice to know that there are some open-minds here, you would not believe how stupid the people on the v6 forum are

Just a Guess... the Heads are probably from a CL/TL Type S... so they're probably better flowing than Minivan Heads....
Displacement+ better heads = More power.


EDIT, never mind... I read it again, and it says different year odysseys... so now I dunno... but the Type S heads would have been better...

We are taking all 3 of our cars to be dynoed once my turbo is on and my husband has his supercharger installed (we are bringing the guy w/ the frankenstein engine w/ us). It was hard to find a place that used Dynojet and wasn't 4 hours away (we are in the boonies)
And hey, I love the BS flag as much as everyone else but I swear this is real.

well things are especially cheap when you work at Honda- he did not spend a $ on the engine or heads just $500 to install the engine!
