yes but i believe the nsx motor is larger so that means it will take a lot of money to fab

NO, its not the same motor. the legend production stopped in 95 and the 3.2L NSX started in 96 as a 97 model. they are both 3.2 liter V6s but not near the same engine. you can fab the engine in there im sure (hell they got one in a CR-X) but itll cost a lot.

I have a 1991 legend. With regards to engine swap, i was wondering if anyone new much about head transfers?
Like could i get a OHC from an oddessy or NSX (impossible to find probably) and slap it into my 3.2 legend sohc, making it a dohc v-tec?
Of course i wuld have to take in account wiring and computer.....but is it simple or easier to change the engine?

I like the idea of a 3.2 v6 dohc v-tech, rather than just sohc 3.2 v6 :D

And does anyone know any other simple effective mods for these cars,
i know no one really does it...but that's why i am

cheers

Sell the Legend and buy a TL or CL-S. Seriously, stop asking about NSX-Legend compatibility in here. Ask in the Legend forum.

There is no Legend forum. As Ponyboy noted, the proper forum for these questions is called "the Acura TL/RL and other Acura/Honda models" forum.
