the 1g cl3.0 had a j30 motor in it, and since it was based off the 5g accord, i can only assume that the parts u would need would be there. the j30 and j32 blocks are pretty much the same on the outside.
on another note... im surprised i havent seen many 1g cl front ends on v6 5g accords.... looks like it would bolt straight on
The c27 and j30 are 2 completly different motors... and the mounts are nothing alike.
A 1st gen CL would be the right source of parts for putting a j30 in a 5th gen accord, a j32 will take more work as there is more to the motor.
You'll want to start with a 5th gen V6 sedan though, as the whole front end of the car is longer to acomodate the larger motor.
