Thanks.
I didn't got for a 2.1 because of the height.
I had a big concern over that; another recent thread talks about 38mm clearance between a current engine and the underside of the bonnet not being enough.
Since I couldn't find a 2.1 locally to measure up, but did find the 1.8 and 1.9 I went with the XUD and expect that I'll have poor clearance. Hence FMIC is needed and maybe a custom intake to the side.
The accord engine bay is VERY deep, but not tall and the bonnet rake isn't great in the location of the LDA on the IP.
If it works out and then I do find clearance, the plan was to just stick the whole 306 swap back into the 306 and go source a 405 etc with the XUD11 and likely benefit from the clutch/shifter setup too.
I would rather have the 2.1 truth be told.
