How hard is it to swap a v6 into a 2007 TSX?

Would never consider that. The 4 cylinders in Honda’s are awesome, the sixes are problematic.

Could always buy the 2nd gen tsx with the 6 in it and same a boatload of money.

How hard it is, is relative to your skill level.
It's feasible, but an expensive swap.

The J-series engines are not problematic and are no less awesome than Honda's four cylinder engines.
The better versions, such as the RL engines, have some better features than K-series engines.

I saw a video on YouTube of a '04 TSX swapped with a 3.2 out of a '09 ~ '14 TL. They used the TL 6 speed trans and PCM. The same video showed a 3.7 swap. Three swaps in total done by a guy from Quebec.
I thought of a LSx into a SLK320 but was told that swapping to any car with a CAN bus is difficult.

Incorrect. The J32 engine and trans is from a 04-06 TL. The swaps in the videos are hack jobs. Says a lot about the guy from Quebec. Certainly not an "expert" as the videos try to portray him.

The video talks about three different swaps.

I'm new to this but I want a 1st gen TSX SO BAD. I have to sell my EP3 first though.
