NSX Head

I was thinking. Our car is SOHC and the NSX is DOHC with the same engine.

Would it be possible to put a NSX head on our engine?
Has anyone attempted it?

Just a thought...

I was hoping to find a banged up NSX in the junkyard or something.

Actually I think this came up once before and due to the layout difference on the NSX, it will not work.....

The NSX has a 90 degree V6 and the J series is a 60 degree V6. So no, it wouldn't work even if it bolted right up to the block. You would need to construct an intake manifold, etc.
