Can I put a hyundai accent motor into a honda civic?

With enough money, you can do just about anything.

Going to cost more than buying a used Civic outright as well as buying a used Accent outright.

Design and fabrication are going to cost a small fortune. Nothing will bolt in or mount up, so you will essentially have to make a complete new subframe/engine/tranny cradle, then, the Civic driveline and Accent driveline are different, so you will need custom axles fabricated to go from the Hyundai tranny to Honda hubs.

Then, you will need a custom exhaust, no engine gauges with work, so all that will need to be custom built, all the Huyndai motor wiring will need to be spliced in…

In short, yes it can be done, but will cost much more than two running/driving cars.

A experienced machinist/welder/fabricator will charge about $100/hr and this project will take a LOT of hours!

It is not impossible. But the question is WHY?

Why a Hyundai? You are already better off with the Honda engine already.

I have seen V8 on the Civic which is an upgrade. Yes, but it cost a lot to do.

Ian & "g" are both correct, any mods can be accomplished if you spend enough money at it. The motor would just "drop" in nor just bolt up, this would require many hours of customization by skilled mechanics.

Plus you will never recoup the money you spent, the car would be worth less than a Civic with a Honda engine.

Technically it would be possible, but the amount of modification that would be necessary to do so would be plentiful. Hunt for a Civic engine.
