I would assume you could no problem from the parts dept. at any Acura delaership. Might take a few weeks.

I'm curious though, what do you want them for?

Sounds like a lot of werk to me!

First you will have to mill down the diameter of the 3.2 -10.5 :1
pistons so they will fit the 3.0 cylinders. Second you will have to mill the cam lobes and cut the valves so it will make the clearance for the head.............................................. .....................................
....and so on and so on...................VTEC controller........................
......................porting..................... ....................new injectors......................................... ................................................

My suggestion- buy a crate J32 type S engine and do a swap!
or keep saving your $'s for the real thing.

Or....

Buy an older 3.2TL engine from a wrecked vehicle.

Since the last body style TL did have a 3.2. Probably be cheap.

I'm not familiar with the bore and stroke of each but this, as Xenon7 said it will cost MONEY!!! Engine swap will be a better idea. Engine will run 8k plus the custom motor mounts and tranny work.....ugh. Unless you can get this stuff from a junkyard you're better off getting yourself a used CLS.

If you're bore and stroke aren't close to this numbers you're fucked.

3.50 in x 3.39 in (89 mm x 86 mm)

Also remember you'll have to get forged bearings, connecting rods, reworked cams, valves.
