Can my TL be stroked?

Just picked up another motor to start to build and was wondering if anyone had ever put a a crank from a 3.5 in it, an RL crank or a CL. Definatley planning on doing it as part of the build just need some more info first.

I've heard of people making a 3.2 into a 3.6, is the block any different from the newer 3.7 and can it go bigger? I have zero intention of doing this but it's the smallest engine I've owned in a car lol.

How can the 3.2L "feel" more sportier than the High Performance 3.5L?

wtf are you buying? the whole engine? or the crank? MDX or pilot crankshaft. Do you have the AEM FIC, J&R, or flash pro ready? Cuz your car is going to run like shit without tuning

this thread is pretty informative.
Please dont muck it up by asking silly questions. if you have questions, follow up on some of the terms they use by searching google.

i wouldnt exactly call changing out a crank to be a bolt on. I dont use this often at all but so far its gonna be weisco 9:1 pistons, pauter rods, studed, a j37 crank once one shows up on ebay or ill just order one for wholesale price if worst comes to worse, 1400 injectors (going to run e85) and yadayadayada. Heads are going out next week to be port and polished and its gonna be set up with a precision 67mm ball bearing turbo like i said i dont go on here much at all and i allready have all the info i need so just look for it rolling around on LI.
