Back in the Game
So my family recently acquired a 1996 Honda Accord EX model with the 2.7 liter v6 motor. 6 cd changer, power windows and locks, leather seats a little beat up on the interior and exterior with the catch being that it's been stolen before, and the ignition was ripped out. So I replaced the whole lock cylinder assembly for the ignition this past weekend. The car has about 217,000 miles on it with a pretty long list of maintence items the previous owners have taken car of including recently replacing the brakes all the way around, the radiator, and the starter, as well as replacing the battery about 1 year ago. The car is automatic but honestly as a daily driver and technically my 19 year old brother's first car it's a steal considering the owner gave it to us for free simply because they were moving out of state and didn't want to fix the car.
However with the mileage being where it's at, and my brother and I both being honda enthusiasts were looking into our options in terms of performance items for the car. Nothing really major but we began to look into swapping out the small 2.7 liter V6 motor in favor of something bigger that honda offers but wanted to find something relatively straight forward to swap into the car. If anyone knows of any swaps we could look into or if the 3.0, or 3.5 motors swap in I would love to hear it. Or if anyone knows of anyone who has built up these 2.7 liter motors to any success I'd love to hear about it. I'll be honest when I say I know almost nothing about the v6 motors honda produces so any tips would be awesome.
