Default ? about 1999 honda accord

I just got a 99 accord with a 4 cyl. how do I tell if it is the better of the 2 that year?
Mostly I was wondering how easy is it to swap it with a v6 vtec?

what model is your accord?..ex, lx, se? 2door - 4 door?

as far as better of that gen?..motor wise?...enterior?..special packages?..functions?..

to swap a V6?...i beleive the whole drivetrain and motor mounts and the whole base of how it sits its totally different, im not 100% sure, havent heard of anyone swaping a v6 into the 4cyl version, or took the time to look. i can take a look on thursday when i go back into work. but you never know if it uses the same mounts sense the bays are basically the same size. It's also something ive thought about looking into, so on thursday its something im going to look into, for me and you and anyone else that wants to know.

I believe all of the 4cyl models are the same with that year. 150 HP, SOHC VTEC.

the j30 block will not fit in a f23 accord cause the front frame is longer. besides its not worth it.. just drop in a h22, almost direct bolt in with alot less problems, and tons more options. i have a cl with a j30 in it so im not tryin to talk you out of doin it.
but if your insistant and do it i would suggest you doin a cl type s swap j32 260hp. or an odessy 3.5l j35 swap 265 hp
