TL Engine Swap
Has anyone heard of a TL engine swapped into a TSX? The 3rd Gen engine? I think TSX would be a nice ride with a TL 3.2 and a six speed tranny. Is it possible?

With enough money it's possible, but I think it would cost more than the TL costs to pull it off. 3.2 is conisderably larger than our 2.4. If you're in love with that engine, couldn't you get a TL-S? Then you'd have your 3.2 and manual tranny.

Oh, if you just want the power the 3.2 has to offer, get a supercharger. You can put out over 300 hp easily with one, which will get you the power of the 3.2, but you'll retain the economy of the 2.4.

As for us 1st gen - S/C is about $4,395 MSRP (CT-Engineering), but I'm sure our vendor can get them cheaper.
