i'm going to say no, and emission laws wouldn't let it happen even if it was possible, besides the k series motor is the motor to be swapped into the 7th gens, which would lay shame to the b series motor anyways.

Won't fit, K20A or K24 hybrid are the only options, unless you want to be the first with a b series in there.

lol did you just say putting a k in the 7th gen was downgrading? k is better than b, more horsepower, just better built....

Nope... the only swaps we're allowed to do are the ones that rip a hole in our pockets.... No B series for us.

it will work, as b to d swaps work in 4th-6th gens. i dont know if the mounts are the same, and the wiring is different, as is the fuel system, but im sure the swap is doable.

in certain states. the guy who owned my sedan had a 93 b18a in a 95 sedan and drove it for 6 months, passed emissions and everything. only in states with inspection laws (cali) do you need the same year or newer motor.

I knew that too, do most of the states have inspection laws? or just ca?
