Not without an obscene amount of custom chassis fabrication.

A well-built turbo H22 is a much more practical option.

Fine... if you think it's only a matter of engine mounts, go ahead and spend thousands of dollars trailblazing with your V6 swap. I hope you have a machine shop and a couple months to figure out the chassis modifications and wiring.

No one else has bothered with such a swap because a turbo H-series is far easier to build and will go faster for the same money.

I realize that was meant in jest but here goes my overly-serious response:

First of all, hemis (the new ones) are :ghey: IMO.

Secondly, some people care about mileage, handling and a smooth idle - a Honda V6 would be better in those areas.
