droping a complete 2003 MDX engine in a CLS!

Is it possible, the new 2003 MDX is rated at 260 HP/250lbft is it possible? can we rev limit to 7100 like the CLS?

if you rev limited that 3.5 at 7100 it would be putting out more than 260/250 right?

i have a feeling that it wouldnt be possible though without close to a small fortune in fab work

My guess is it's possible. But why? Our 3.2 his cylinder liners for dispensation of heat and I believe are set up for high lift plus the dual stage manifold. Why would you want to give all that up? You might be disappointed after spending all that money. I think what you have now is better.

The 2003 MDX is a new engine... it is more powerfull than the CLS... if you Rev it to 7100, add some high compression pistons, I am sure you can reach 300HP/275 lbft easy...!
