Question engine swap

has anyone swapped the c32a engine from the 3.2 tl into the 2.5. i was thinking about doing this since the c32 has more aftermarket parts then the g25?

The engine bay is smaller in the 2.5. Actually, the whole front-end is smaller.

Realy the 2.5 is smaler than the 3.2...? the look the same..? and all of the parts of the front end of a 3.2 fit a 2.5... just the bumper makes it look biger of the 3.2. but the whole front end will fit a 2.5 of a 3.2

The 3.2 stuff will fit a 2.5, but not the other way around. I saw a 3.2 with a 2.5 bumper and it was stretched out.

i have a 2.5 already and i don't like it for the fact that i have a crappy transmission that isn't worth fixing and i would rather have the 3.2 engine.

^^ if your trans is bad then why swap another motor into it? then you'll just have 2 motors and no trans when it goes?
