can a 02 cl types motor and tranny fit in the 1st generation with out cutting the hood does it drop perfect

 

??????

 

i had a shop in TN while in the army. i worked with a couple guys who were very knowledgable honda/acura techs. at least 20+ years experience a piece. very good mechanics too. when i purchased my Acura CL, there first response was to put a 3.2l V6 and a 6 speed in it. with a supercharger (they actually happened to have this set up in the back of the garage) well, i wasnt able to start the project before i had to leave Tennessee, but we did a rough draft of sizes, measurements, and fitments across a couple V6 platforms as compared to my engine bay and on paper it seemed it would fit without too much hassle. although unless custom 'lowered' mounts were used, it seemed a hole would have to put into the hood, but that was with the supercharger. maybe not without it.

 

yea i dont want to cut the hood

 

well, if your handy with a welder, you could always make sow custom motor mounts. or maybe do some research on different intakes. being as its a custom job, alot of time and research would be needed. but a supercharged, 3.2L V6 with a LSD 6-speed in a 1st Gen CL would be TOTALLY worth it.

 

yea i kno the quarter mile time would be extremly low

 

oh my god, search.

 

wow, he (Gnate) is right, you should search if you really want to find out more. BUT, i didnt see the harm in just answering your question with what info i had. it didnt take alot of time out of my busy day. i dont really see what the big deal is about just ANSWERING SOMEONES QUESTION!. Plus, nothing is more annoying than someone popping onto a thread you made trying to get a little head start on what your trying to figure out and saying "search" or "try the search Noob" Man, people suck. just my 2 cents.

 

P.s. - He is my God too. (and I feel he prolly wouldn't like his name being used in vain in relation to something so minute & trivial as a web forum)

 

Take it to R&P, Caddy.

 

Gnate, get out of here with that bs, do not mock people for their religious beliefs, you have been warned.

1StealthCL searching will provide some good info on the j32 swap as it's been discussed several times before, we ask people to search to limit the duplicate threads that pop up when people post the same question over and over again.

 

Okay, sorry 1stealthCL.
