totally different setups.

ONLY if you have a lot of cash can you do it, and then its not worth it. Are you asking about putting the Legend (C32A1) motor into the Accord?

Maybe your friend meant the G1 motor (C27A) in the accord V6, EX model of the 94-97. These are the same. G1 Legend motor, 94-97 Accord motor.

Motor/tranny setups
G2 Legend - Longitudinal
ALL Accords - Transverse
G1 Legend - Transverse

So does that mean I can mount a gen1 legend 5 speed tranny to the 94-96 accord v6 motor ( since 5 speed doesnt exist for that year/engine)
If that's the case, i wouldnt mind trying it out .. A common swap for the accord is the h22 engine, but having a 5 speed v6 94-97 would definatly be unique

actualy you can and you can't. The 1gen legend manual gearbox can fit on the Accord's C27A tho you have to cut out a big part of it. it was done by someone. So yes it could be done

one note tho, you need a 5th gen Accord which was originaly V6. the 4cyl Accord's engine bay is WAYYYY to small for the C27A
