Default can you complete a succesfull swap with an accord 4 cyl to a klze 6 cyl.?

i was debating between a probe gt and a '90 accord, i like both their styling but for some reason, the accord looks better, i got no clue how, but i cant deal with a 4 cyl, so i was wondering if i could succesfully swap a honda 4 cyl to a mazda klze 6 cyl, and would i have to change the tranny, and um would it work?

First off, you'd have to fabricate your own engine mounts. Then you'll probably need custom made axle shafts to connect the accord outer cv joints to the mazda inner cv joints. A wiring harness will have to be fabricated out of the two harnesses from the two separate cars. Personally, I would use an accord V6 (it would be A LOT less work).

Throw and h22 in it way beter then that Mazda v6 make more power i think and it a lot easier then swapping in a Mazda v6 since lots of custom work is needed and Ur not gaining to much i think the Mazda engine make 160 and the jdm makes 200 while the euro h22 has 220 and a lot cheaper route . if u feel like a v6 still go with the j32 Acura cl/tl s motor 260 hp and grab a six speed cl tranny and have fun.

v6 into a 90 accord simply is a no no or any v6 at that. The h22a or f20b are the engines that will simply "bolt right in" and give you very good numbers compared to the stock f22a engine that you have now. If the accord is already a 5 speed then do it, I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Please don't do this. Get a Mazda 626 and swap a KLZE into that or do the upgraded 4 cylinder Swap into the 90 accord. It would be cheaper and it wouldn't require total custom fabrication.
