NSX and CL engine question

I was wondering if the NSX shares the same block as CLP's and CLS's?

no i do not think so..even the V angle is different..and one is design for mid engine and one is for front.. even they are all 3.2 liter engines.. however..cls or tls engines are designed base on accord 3.0 engines...

Thanks, cause I was wondering if it was possible to get NSX performance out of our CL's engine, but it seems it is already a stroked version of the Honda 3.0.

I remember people posting about a 3.5 conversion, but it seems like nobody want's to try this. Is it a difficult procedure?

My old bimmer was a 2.5 SOHC and a couple of guys that I used to run with stroked those engines to 2.7 and 2.8 litres without much trouble, which led to a very fun to drive baby six cylinder. I figured the acura would be an easier project and parts would be considerably cheaper, but it seems everyone is staying away from major engine mods.

Thanks again for the info.
Oscar

Yes, I'm 99% sure the NSX uses a 90 degree V-6 while the
CL/TL/Accord/Odyssey/MDX/Pilot all share the same 60 degree block.
