3.2 CL Motor into 00 Si

I have seen a few of these for sale with low miles and was wondering if it was possible. My dad has 3.2 CL type S, 6 spd with LSD and even with a heavy car it is a beast I was day dreaming about whether it would fit. I am thinking if the 2.2 ltr H22 is a tight squeeze the 3.2 ltr V6 would be almost impossible without hacking into the frame somewhere.

It's POSSIBLE but it'll cost a grip.

Yeah, I would also think you would have to do some major work to strengthen the chassis and suspension.

I don't know man, a V6 in a compact with a relatively small engine bay? Front wheel drive? I can't even begin to fathom the cost, so much so that I'd say that its impossible. BUT with enough time and money, almost every swap is possible..

You might also need the corresponding ignition for the ECU you'd be using.

your better off putting in a h22 or like a B series engine save you a lot of money and hassle, just my 2 cents

Re: 3.2 CL Motor into 00 Si

I figured it would cost a pretty penny I know the motor is relatively cheap and the Torque would be incredible not to mention the HP but I also imagine it would alter the handling given the additional weight of the engine. Since it is a blasy in my dads CL I figured it would be like a rocket in my Si but the cost and logistics of the required work are probably the soundd of reality crashing in.

I remeber there was a brief write up about Signal Auto in Japan running and EK hatch with a NSX motor driving the front wheels and I though well anything is possible but since I am driving a honda obviously I don't have bottless pockets.
