Default JDM Acura Legend C32A 3.2L in 6 gen accord

Will a JDM Acura Legend C32A 3.2L fit in in 6 gen accord (1999) meaning will the motor mounts mount on directly? or are motor mounts available?

I don't know why you'd want this engine. Get a J32, much smoother, much more reliable, much more potent.

And I highly doubt they would.

Yeah, any of th J-Series engines will fit in the 6G Accord. The C-Series engines are a waste of time. No VTEC, and the C32 is an inline mounted engine, so there is a much greater power loss in the transmission, due to the 90 degree torque change. For example, the 94 Legend GS coupe, equipped with the 230HP C32 Type II will have a tough time keeping up with the heavier 2000 3.2TL with the 225HP J32. The J30 is actually what comes stock in the 6 and 7G Accord V6's. But all of the J engines (3.0, 3.2, 3.5) are all the same outside dimensions. This reminds me of the customer who came in recently with the 98 2.3CL that he'd swapped an H22 in to... just seems silly, when there is a V6 that is designed for the car.
