With enough time and money you can put a NASCAR V-8 in your TL.
BTW - I don't think the trans is the same.

The standard transmission in the TL and TL Type-S is an all-new electronically controlled 5-speed automatic. Developed from the RL's 5-speed automatic, this transmission has more torque capacity that the one it replaces, but more compact.

^^+1 or do a j35, j36, j37 stroker motor built. since i know tl-s hold their value pretty darn well so it would be cheaper to do stroker motor build than trade in ur tl and buy a tl-s. plus 3rd gen tl engine stroked makes more hp then tl-s stock, u get forged internals(more reliable for F/I applications),Port and polished everything, tune etc.
all it takes is about $4200-5k for a stroker motor since u got a 3rd gen tl
whatever way u choose is good. goodluck bud

Whether it was created in 06 or not, considered a 07. Almost like talking about the 2008 TL and the 2009 TL, there not the same thing.

A little back ground of what i am using right now. i have a 97 honda prelude running the J35A8 setup out of a 07 type s tl. I am using a 08 Type s 6speed transmission on auto motor. With a Auto harness, and a 06 3.2 ecu. The 06-08 ecu is self learning. So i have run the 3.2 on my 3.5 motor safley so far.
The best option for 04-05 . Run the the motor and trans out of the type s. use your current ecu, to use the type s ecu you would need to change much of the interior harness. There are a few differences in sensors. The type s o2 sensors, and most of the sensors on the intake manifold are different (just the plugs). Use the sensors for what wiring harness you use. Use the type s injectors. And best case scenario, get a aem fic and you will be able to fine tune the engine.
