Default Can 96-98 3.2TL engine swap into 91-95 Legend?

And I mean - can it _easily_ swap?
Without real mods.
Reusing old intake manifold is not a problem.

They look very similar.
Engine codes are C32A1 and C32A6.
Both are non-vtec.

Are the blocks at least interchangeable?

Does anyone have first hand experience of using the newer 3.2 in the older car?

Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Physically they are both C series so they should be interchangeable. You should look at the external castings to see if the mounts are the same. Other than that it will come down to wiring and plumbing. Should be a fairly straight forward swap.
