Default question about type II legend swap

My friend has a type II legend. Just wondering if its possible to stick that engine in the 6th gen accords or even the 5th gen. Its just a stupid question that I'm wondering.

w/ money anything is possible
but it would be illegal because the engine would have to be from a newer or same year car ur putting the engine into.

the motor in the legends were mounted 90degrees different than the motors in 5th and 6th gen accords.

like he said, with money, anything is possible... but its gonna be too expensive to think about... the nose of the car would probably have to be lengthened.

In a 5th gen accord, a j30a engine would be more practical... its a GREAT engine, just the tranny's suck... but they can be built up to handle more power. And the 6th gens already have the j30a engine in it...

Thanks to the replies, its just that the type II has 230hp and 208 tqe, so I was just trying to think what kind of punch it'll give the accord which I believe is lighter.
