got 3.5?
Who sells/ships the 3.5 short block? Do I have everything on my factory 3.2 Type S to make it a complete engine? What is the typical gain? How much does it cost? A contact name/telephone #/ and or email address is really what Im looking for. And last but for some reason always the most important I have searched.
Any info would be super duper.

e-bay or junk yard is your best bet.

With the xception of platino, You guys have been no help at all. Also, You dont have to be a post whore. Its OK, if you dont possesse the information that im inquiring about, just move on to the next thread and quit giving people sh!t about asking questions about stuff that they are ready to buy.
In previous post made TypeR metioned a complete $2500 short block and that it is a high quality mod. I need to find out if this is indeed a new 3.5 or something taken out of another car/truck. Which would be fine if it were completly rebuilt, but Im not gonna pay my hard earned cash for somebody elses headache.
I currently live in an apartment now, Im not accustomed to being without a shop to work all night in or having to buy/rent tools to complete a job, thats the significance of finding out what needs to be done to get this thing together, how much is shipping gonna be on such a large and heavy product, and last but not least, things change and sh!t happens some updated opinions from xperienced people (who have the first hand knowledge) are always valued.
Cause thats what I'd do if I didn't have no army I'd just STFU.

Rick Case Acura was planning to do it but that was a long time ago.

Interior, sound, tint, lights, and fiberglass will just find there way into the plans.

I like bolt-ons. We already have open exhaust and a little engine, so when it comes to eliminating back pressure sure it would sound nice, but it would be like shooting yourself in the foot. Our fuel supply and throttle body is already more than sufficant for the power this thing generates. I already know Im set in my ways, but this is my first import and I still love the power of a bigger engine and the sweet sweet lobe of a over sized cam. I might not have the fastest Acura in the end......but one thing that You will be able to say about it is "Holy insert profanity here "

apparently sitting on the sideline on this forum still hasn't taught you what red text means.

So after all of this nonsense I guess the correct response is "I don't know who ships the short block and I probably shouldn't of even chimed in to begin with." But thanks anyway.

Dude we're tring to tell you no one does except a dealer. There are no performance shops that sell a 3.5 kit, or a 3.5 engine. You need to research & source out your own 3.5 block & components. Just like cleancl did & typer. Then you need to find a shop that can handle putting it together if you can not do it.
There were 2 shops in FL that were trying to do a kit or a block. 1 was rick case(see my other post) the other decided it wasn't worth it & stopped intreast.
Were not tring to give you hard time here....You keep asking the same question & replies in this thread have already answered you. A search would have turned up the only other 3.5 threads by typer & cleancl. All the info you need to get this done is in those threads.

why don't you buy a complete NEW MDX block ('02) and NEW CL-S pistons 
do a swap, adjust your stock CL-S valves and you are ready to ROCK-n-ROLL
.
NEW engine block and pistons is da shit

Still, 12.8 and 13.3 is a HUGE difference.

I compared part numbers for the 01-03 CLS auto and 6spd, and compared them with the 01-02 mdx 3.5 part numbers and also the 03 mdx. The 03 mdx and up block will not work in our cars. The 01-03 CLS basic block is the same part number that the 01-02 mdx block has, same block. the 3.5 is just a different crank, rods and pistons. pistons lower compression and possibly a different valve pocket due to a smaller valve on the 3.5.
You can get a complete 01-02 mdx 3.5 short block that your cl heads will bolt to for around 1450.00. however, that block will be lower compression than the 3.2. that should be replaced with some forged pistons but depends on what your going to do with it, FI or NA, have fun.
