97 Tl engine in a 91-95 legend?
Well I have an extra TL 3.2 engine and have come across a clean legend with a blown motor for somewhat cheap. Any reason this swap wouldnt go smoothly besides the legend being OBD1 and the TL being OBD2? I would obviously have to switch the harness, alternator, some sensors, etc, but anything else to look out for? Thanks for any input guys.

It'll work, looks like you have it covered.

I assume you have a '97 3.2 TL transmission with this engine as well?

Is it a manual?

Put the Type-II manifold on the 3.2 engine for some more HP. Then get a CAI or SRI.

^ if you decide to go this route, PM me for details. I can probably tell you some things you need to know about the difference between a legend and a tl too.
