New to the Acura CL World

I have just purchased a 98 2.3 Acura CL. It has front end damage but that I can fix. I have a donor car that is 98 Acura 3.0 that the rear was wrecked; everything else is in really good condition. The engine and Trans runs well, that being said because I can drive it still and it runs good. It only has 125k, my 2.3 has 187k. Well I hope to reach the 5 post quick so that I can sell parts and ask for help.

Welcome to the club guy. Hope you have better luck with your CL then I am. You have a spare CL which I'm sure will come in handy when it comes to fixing your car.

Welcome! There have been many new owners recently(ish). I'm rounding on two years with mine, I love it. Good luck on your fix and check out all the guides and howtos that the vets have put up for us!

Welcome.

Isn't the 3.0 engine bay slightly bigger than the 2.x models? either way its going to be a tight fit.

No, it's the same frame, just different mount locations

not to thread jack or nuttin but im kinda playin around with the 3.2 cl type s engine swap. although i was just plannin to replace my engine and tranny with the identical one...might as well see what my options are eh?..

but yo blackcl you got pics of what yer workin with?...sellin parts is kinda rough now cause oem parts can be bought on ebay like nuttin...but if you are sellin parts id like to touch base with you. its not much..mainly interior stuff. prolly the headlight housing and tail housing units. shoot me a PM or sumfin.
