Say you want to put a Honda J-Series V6–an engine found in everything from the Honda Accord to the Acura MDX–into a car that didn’t come with one from the factory.
That’s cool, but where do you start? After all, there were a number of variations produced and, perhaps most importantly, you want to figure out which ones will actually fit in your project.
Lucky for you, forum user Flight Service started a thread a few years ago on the subject, covering pretty much everything you might want to know when it comes to the J-Series, be it specifications, technical information or even dimensional drawings.
So, if you have a question about the J-Series, or even have some advice you think is worth sharing, check out the “Honda J series thread. Tech Info” thread.
Also, what’s your favorite application of the J-Series?

Depending on the exact bad idea, I'd buck up for a GM High Feature. They accelerate much better than Hondas.
The GM engine accelerates better than the Honda. Yeah, I said it twice, because it feels so weird to say.
Driving an Accord with the 271hp VCM engine (got to do rings in it) I was kind of shocked... today when I read the article and saw it was a 271hp engine and not a 200hp engine.
My buddy put one in an impreza. He kept the stock 5 speed and awd. It's cool.

Wait, Honda-powered Impreza? Got pics?
I really enjoyed the j32a2 in CL Type-S, and I thought it would be fun to swap it into a lighter car, preferably mid-engined.
The J is an easy swap into the NSX-far cheaper than rebuilding the original C30 and the kit is better than the ones made for k-swaps. Way more aftermarket support for big power and nobody cares if you throw a rod out the engine block.
It's also a prettier engine and better from a packaging standpoint. The C30 was at the end of the era where Honda engineers put vac hoses everywhere and the 60deg J gives way more space in the engine bay.

Hahaha I noticed that as well. I let GRM get away with that sort of stuff because they're cool, though.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I'll see what I can do.
It's a racecar, so the requirements are easier than a comfy streetcar.
