Question a head swap???????

my friend has a 99tl( i have 92 legend) and i was wondering if it is possible to swap the intake manifold and heads from a 2004 tl???? I read somewhere that "acura did enough internal mods to push 270" so i am thinking rods and pistons maybe..........or is it an entirely new motor????

just curious so any insight or diagrams would be useful.thanx!

Swap from the 04 TL to which car? The 99 TL or the 92 Legend?

they did more than just a few subtle changes from the 2nd gen TL motor to the 3rd gen TL motor...you would need lots more than a few bolt ons aka. the engine from the 3rd gen TL.
