1/4 down 3.5L swap.

The new TLS motor would not fit without some serious $ to get it in.

yes it should directly fit, but why would anyone want to do that? Its still the j32; and its a ulev vehicle. That motor is far more restrictive than the j32a2 even the j32a1. You can't put on headers since the factory ones are welded to the block, and its got 3 cats from the factory...

yes the tls j35 is the same, but its slightly bigger...
