Yes it would fit, but you would be doing alot of work to get it to fit, like getting custom mounts made, maybe having to cut the hood to get it to clear. It is possible just takes time and money to do it.

Well it would take me about a month and a half to save up for the MDX engine. Maybe if i save up for a month, I can get a K20. But I cant drive stick properly. Can i get a K20 and make it auto.

yea and auto is ----.

i've seen j32's from cl's and tl's put into tegs and civics. and j32 heads put on the j35 block for more power. honestly, dont waste your time or money unless a) you can do it all yourself b) you have another car c) your willing to do this for like a month straight.
