First, I'm not an Accord guy so for details you'll need someone else's expertise. Second, while the motor will fit it will have to be reversed (the exhaust headers will be next to the firewall). You're biggest struggle will be finding a mount kit.

It is possible, but it depends on what you are looking at doing after you swap it. Turbo, supercharger. I've looked into it RSX engine is expensive not only for the parts but also for custom fitting everything. Your best bet h22a. There are mounts made for this swap and more people have done it. Hope this helps

HASPORT has a mount kit for a k swap for the CD Accord, but those engines ain't cheap.  You will not have to flip the motor around, and, in my humble opinion, having the intake in the front of the bay is a little better for performance, as the temps will be slightly lowwer.  You will, however, need to get the Type-S trans.
