Default 2000 Accord Engine Swap

Is it possible to swap a K20A JDM Type R engine into a 2000-2002 Accord coupe?
If it is not possible, then what engines are possible to swap into the Accord?
What might it also cost? (estimate)

H22 would be your best bet, but it'll put you back $5000+ from start to finish.

From the people I've talked to, thats the average cost with all the misc. shit you'll need.

Anything is possible with the right amount of money. But right now the H22A would be the best swap. However a better power adder would be to turbo the F23. For about the same price as a swap you can put down 200whp on a moderate amount of boost with plenty of torque. An h22 only has 190 crank horsepower and not a lot of torque.

it was answered already:

Do what he says.----^ your gonna spend say 5g's on an engine to only have 220hp.

With that same 5g's you could get a turbo setup and make more power than that K20 and still have money left over.

why do you guys have such a problem with answering people's questions? he asked if he could fit a K20 in his car. He didn't ask for his "best bet" and all that other babble. Try answering the questions people ask without all extra unrequested opinions

They're giving him opinions to save him money, and maximize potential gains.

Simply reinforcing people's opinions defeats the purpose of a "forum."

I'm doing a swap (H22) into a 6th gen accord right now, and it is NOT straightforward.
