TL - NSX 3.2 swap?
im only curious and have no idea, however i was thinking is it possible that you could take the 3.2 out of the nsx and put it in the TL? with a possible swap of the transmission? im curious, that would be cool if u could. just a thought ...

Doubt it'd be worth it. NSX is mid-engined, which means the transmission would also bolt up differently.

No, its not feasible.

People have thought about doing this for years.. ever since the NSX came out.

The NSX C series motor is 90 degree, and the TL J series motor is 60 degree. It would be very difficult. I don't see the point much, you can rebuild these Js to make real good power as well.

Thinking of buying 2001 TL or 2003 TL-S, but a few concerns
