Engine replacement
Hope everyone is doing good, I’m new here, I was recommended to ask for more information over my TL type s.
I recently bought a 2008 TL Type S for $500 as a project car. I always loved these cars since I was in high school. Turns out I have bad compression in the engine.
I was told it can fit a RL 3.5 in without issue and also a 3.7?
I tried searching up some forums here but I couldn’t find the right results. If anyone could help me out with recommendations or more information I’d greatly appreciate your help.

My car is a 6speed tl type s. And yes the j37 bolts right up to an auto and manual 07 acura tl type s. Im currently using a j37a1 short block from 07-09 mdx. 2010 mdx j37a1 alil different but still bolts on to our trannys. My j37a1 from 07-09 mdx had bad headgasket. Warped heads so we ending up using the original j35a8 type s head on the j37a1 short block.
How hard is it to put j37 into 3rd gen '07 TL type S - AcuraZine - Acura Enthusiast Community
