Default K20 in 5th Gen Accord?!

My friend got his hands on a wrecked rsx-s engine w/ everything you'd need for a swap. he has a 95 Accord LX, he wants to swap it into his car, (200 hp/ 142 tq). I'm wondering can he actually do this? if he can do it relativley easily I'd like to know. He got everything from the car for $1200. So is this even possible to do cheaply?

well, seeing as the engine turns the other way... that would be a bitch. Hella fabrication would be needed... and a lot of ducttape!

yep, besides the K20 doesn't have as much torque as H22 either.

You are right. The new K series engines do spin the other way. The best bet, like the others have already stated, would be drop it in a '01 and up Civic!
