you mean swapping, by swapping out the engine and 6-speed manual tranny?

yes, i believe its possible to get the engine and tranny out of the 08tl-s to fit in our engine bays, but getting the ecu and dashboard to work is something i cant answer. either way its going to be lots of work since you will need many parts from 03 cl-s 6-speed as well.

i believe when he said im he meant the intake manifold. this is definitely possible

I remember seeing a thread about it but can't seem to find it anymore

you are right, he is speaking of IM not engine, however the IM in post you referenced is for 09 SH-AWD IM, OP wants to know if 08 TL-S will work.

but as others have said, why not go 09 SH-AWD model? it's better and lighter than stock.
