He guys i was just involved in a accident in which my tl was totaled. But the engine and everything is fine so i was thinking about swapping the engine into a honda accord. any tips for which year and model is best suited for this?

 

6th gen accords (1998 - 2002) would be suitable, seeming their 3.0L V6 was very similar to the 3.2L that came in our TLs, but just be warned, the 4 speeds that came in those accords are just as notorious for failure as our TL transmissions. If I were you I would do a 6 speed swap.

 

I was gonna swap the transmission in there as well because everything in my TL for the front end is like brand new and only the back of the car was destroyed but still ride off

 

In that case you may have to modify your engine and transmission mounts, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

Welcome Bhawan33 !!!

If ya don't already have an Accord, than IMO ya would be way better off trying to find another 2nd Gen TL ('99-'03). This would make more sense and you would end up with a much better car.

There should be plenty of TL's in the salvage yards that may have blown drivetrains or have been hit in the front. At the end of the day, everything would be easier and more valuable when completed.

Bhawan33 jump over to the CL side and check out https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/yungone501s-excessive-infatuation-j-series-873314/ this guy has done it all. Good luck and keep us posted on what you come up with.

It sounds like a fun swap!!!!!! I want one

 

Unless you are capable of doing the swap yourself, labor could add up quickly for a custom installation.
