TL vs NSX head geometry

Anybody know the differences between the TL and the NSX head geometry?

I am assuming that a head from an NSX can be swapped as they run the same block.

Our block is a J-block.

I believe the NSX has a C-block.

not a chance you can swap heads or blocks. even swapping the entire motor would be a pain.

the 2nd Gen CL/TL will bolt up to the new 3G TL and newest RL block, but oil return lines are different. it could be done with modifications, but why? your heads are better.

Isn't the NSX architecture a 90 degree V6, vs. the TL which is or is closer to 60 degrees?

^Thats the same thing i was thinking. The way the engine sits will make it a custom setup instead of a direct bolt on

NSX is a 'C series' 90 degree block with DOHC

The heads don't even bolt up to other C series engines (Legend, 1st gen 3.2 TL and 1st gen RL)

Believe me, its been looked at and tried. Completely different designs.
