Im not sure if this has been discussed before, so if it has im sorry for the repost.

I was looking up a few threads on memberes who have stroked their J32's out to 3.5L and others who have swapped out their J32 for a J35. And I started thinking aout the new J37's in the new TL SH-AWD and in the 09'RL, could the J37 be swapped in place of a J32 in a 2nd Gen CL or TL??? Im thinking the engine might be too tall for our cars, but im not 100% sure about it, but it would be pretty sweet if someone put a J37 in their CL. Or we could just swap a J35 in our CL's and then stroke it to 3.7L and put in the 09 RL or TL pistons pretty much making it a J37. And would a J32 6spd tanny work on it? I think the 3rd Gen TL-S 6spd tranny fits out car and would bolt on the J37 or any J35 ...Just a thought that I wanted to share
