Honda J35A1 specs: 3.5L (212.1 ci) 6-cylinder, 89 x 93 mm (3.5039 x 3.6614 in) bore and stroke, 9.4:1 compression. Rated 210 hp, 1999–2001.
The Honda J35A1 is close to square: 3.5039" bore against 3.6614" stroke, within 4.3%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.6614" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,550 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 35.4 ci (579 cc).
9.4:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 30 engines in the J-series V6 family, sitting between the 152.6 ci and 223.6 ci members. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 210 hp across 1999–2001.
