Sooo...I was pondering the other day, and this popped into my head: yank the V6 and transmission out of a Ridgeline and put it into, say, an '03 Accord coupe, the idea being to end up with a daily driver with more chomp than the stock Accord.
It's purely hypothetical, but it seemed cool in my head.
Anyway, I don't know enough about engines, transmissions, or Hondas in general to know whether it would work and turn out awesome, work and just kind of suck, or not work at all.
So, would someone with more mechanical knowledge care to offer their presumably expert opinion?

ive thought about that motor swap too...it seems like it would work because the accord has a v6 already ....the ridgeline is a bigger motor but i bet if its possible that shit would fly....im interested to see if it would work also.!!!

I knew I wasn't crazy.
We need to find someone wealthy enough or foolish enough to throw some money at it.
