So it is confirmed that the new 07 TL TypeS will be using the J35A5 block which is the same as the 04-06 MDX and the RL. (According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_J_engine#J35 )

Does anyone know if the 04-06 MDX block would fit and bolt up to a Automatic TL?

O.K. Good! Now we gotta figure out how to get that hooked up in my 05 6sp!!!

All you have to do is change the crankshaft and rod from the J35A5.

I thought it wouldn't work on 6mt?

the motor itself should be the same though. if you change the crank/rods, it has nothing to do with the tranny.

a bareblock is only around $500 brand new, but that does not include anything inside such as the crankshaft, piston, rods, bearings, etc.

A complete TL block is around $1100 brand new.

I also checked out the 3.7L block from MDX. Seems like it has a bigger bore and longer stroke. Maybe we can use that block as well so someone should try it out and confirm that....lol
