I have car listed above with a blown 2.3-liter engine. With a manual transmission. I'm wanting to drop a 3.0 liter out of a 2002 Accord!
Is this a possible swap and if so, what would I need to do and how to do it?

Hello,

That engine and transmission combination is not an interchangeable setup.
If you want to do that 3.0 swap the best option would be to use the transmission that comes with the 3.0.
Also, you will have to use all the computers out of the donor car (if there is one). As those engines uses different ones.

The 3.0 will not fit to the transmission for the 2.3, at least not without major modifications. But you will still have the programming issue for the computers.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
