Yea, I think that's it. I hear so much bad stuff about Halferland, but I don't know the details of why he's banned on most FB groups.
Cool, i ordered the front and back spacer.
Not sure on Halferland either, as I'm not on fb, twitter or other social media. I've seen some of his youtube vids. Basically a one man shop, operating out of his house. Time will tell on the parts I guess.
So probably no one is gonna try this combo besides me, but a j35a8 crank with a j37 snout spacer effectively measures the same length as a j32a2 snout. Was doubtful at first cuz the spacer seems so thin. One step closer...
Dude, this build is awesome!! How did you get a fresh j35a8 block? If so, did it come with the three piston oil squirters?
So glad more people are building thier J series, its a great platform! Just too many Armchair mechanics and youngsters who dont know how/ too oppressed with social media to learn.

Its a PGE block, i got it straight from acura, but i have a used RL (RCA) parts block. lol, arm chair mechanics and youngsters. i know what you mean. my kids are gamers & have no interest in learning mechanics... dying breed i guess.

correction rja block for parts. $3k for those new. pge new was around $1k. anyone know if an rl oil pan fits on a 2g i think someone had tried that on a 3g. I should try that tomorrow.
Sorry to hijack the thread but has anyone mated the j35a3 to an av6 trans? I know the blocks for the j35a1/a2 and the j35a3 are the same block and I also know that the av6 is a match made in heaven for the a1’s and 2’s- just wanted to know if their similarities included the BAYA trans. Thank you.

For a 3.7 conversion its posted earlier that a 3.7 crank works with 05-08 RL (J35A8) pistons/rods. You'll also need a spacer for the 3.7 crank.
IMO, for the money it costs to build a 3.7 motor, you might as well swap in a J35A3 & use the money saved for long tube headers
Hi. Is it actually possible to use J35 rods with a 3.7 crank? I've got a J32/J35 hybrid (J35A1 block, crank, rods, J32A2 pistons, heads, cams), I spun a bearing, the crank is apparently cracked (as in has micro cracks in it) and can't be used, and I'm wondering if I can just throw in a 3.7 crank (which I can get fairly easily), or if I need to replace the rods as well. Replacing the rods means the job will be a lot more expensive.
Let me chime in here..
Most of us don't even think about boosting the J the price for the Custom Headers and Piping far exceeds the needs for most..
So there aren't any debates about being "Iron/Steel" vs "Fibrous Metal" here
The J32 and J35 Block are exactly the same in dimensions so you could by piece of mind just use the J32 Block/Heads and interchange the J35 Crank and Rods to make it a 3.XL.. If your using Aftermarket pistons its fairly easy then to clear the bigger J32 Valves which could become a problem with the stock MDX Pistons.
While I might be wrong somewhere I believe its basically "it".. If anything Fatty should chime in too about it since he has build the 3.7L.
New to this whole J series world... I have a j32a2 and I managed to get a j37 crank... besides pistons, rods, p2r snout spacer and other things... I am unsure of which journals and rod bearings to use ... can anyone shed some light on their build??? not much info on this... and I apologize for the noob question

Main bearings for the block you're using. Rod bearings for the rods you're using.
