Default Question about a somewhat unique swap

Ok for starters I want to do something unique and not just put a damn "JDM B16A1" on my Ek and I was wondering if a j30a1 would fit into my 99 ek coupe.

Like what complications would I have by putting a 3.0 v6 engine into the car? What tranny should I go for also?

You just don't hear of a v6 civic so I thought it would be cool or maybe you dont hear about it because it can't really be done

So thoughts ?

I said google it so you could find all of the previous data already on the internet for the swap.

You want the truth?
People have done it, I find it to be a useless swap. You would be wasting your time & money to build a car with an engine that not only makes a civic handle like crap, but doesn't properly fit in the car.

A turbocharged bseries or kseries engine swap is the way to go. End of story.

Fuck that "unique" bs. things are done over and over because they work like b/h/k series. J series yes have been done.. but Vega hit it right in the head with his post.

Thats the answer I was looking for, THANK you.

I did google it and couldn't really find anything useful, it was all on EG hatches.

Boosted k series would be nice, sounds pricy but done right it would be sick and worth every penny.
