Well, given that the 1st gen. CL was based off of the 5th generation Accord, it should work if enough parts were shared.

I imagine they will.

Interesting theory: The 5th gen. based CL can fit the relatively compact 3.0 V6 under it's hood. Think that engine would fit in a 5th gen. Accord? :dunno:

If you used the CL's motor mounts, it might.

yes, they will fit... in fact, the entire CL interior can be swapped into an accord coupe. The CL's front seats are essentially accord coupe seats... sometimes wrapped in leather and can include ass and back warmers.

now the question is, can you hookup the ass and back warmers to the accord's wiring?

i don't think it would fit. remember the 5th gens front end had to be extended so the 2.7L v6 could fit.
isn't it mounted differently too?

maybe the 3.0 v6 would fit in the 95-97 2.7L v6

all you'd need is the seat heater timers, which are mounted to the underside of the seats, the switches and the wirring between the switches and timers, which can be made using a wirring diagram.

The j30 should fit in the 5th gen V6, using frame members from a 3.0CL.

Well, I don't know. The 3.0 is smaller than the 2.7 was, oddly.
