2.2cl Parts car, or possible 3.0 conversion?

I picked up a matching 1997 Acura 2.2 CL parts car a while back. The body is messed up (was half rolled in a ditch), but still runs being wrecked and with 210,000 (on second motor/automatic tranny newly installed @ 200k). My pops owns a wreck yard, so getting new body parts for looks is not a prob. The Question is: Can you possibally swap the engine/drive train for a 3.0 CL motor and drive train, or a 95 Acura Legend 2dr Sport Coupe (maybe L badge???) 3.2 V6. I own a 97 2.2 w/ 60,000 and know it is not worth wasting money for performance parts like Headers/intake/chip/exhaust/fuel system, and was hoping this would be a fun project. Please Help with suggestions to try this, or to not???

What we got

The 2 engines (99 3.0CL engine) and (95 Legend engine) are the two that have came in with good drive trains and compression, more cars come in daily, but not many Acura's...
