possible engine swap

pondering getting a new engine for my 97 3.0 ........ does anybody have any input as to why, why not the 97 nsx's 3.0 engine would fit under my hood? if so, existing parts that would need replacing to match the new engine. hey, it's just a thought. thanks for the input.

good luck with that. And when you spend the 20 or 30 grand to get this done, then I will give you a cookie.

Just think about rolling up on an nsx and mtelling him that oyou have hgis motor in your car.

do it easier, by an early NSX they are pretty cheap now a days. My brother said a 93 sold at auction for just a hair over 20K!
