After aquiring my my 2004 tl i thought the same, they just turned the drivetrain around and made the front diver out of it...alas i have been told that is not the case, different blocks, same size internally, differ cams and number of cams, etc...but it was a nice thought.

If I'm not mistaken, the NSX is a 90 degree V while the Accord/TSX/RL/MDX/Odyssey V6s are 60 degree Vs.

Plus, the NSX spins counter-clockwise while the other engines are clockwise. That means you could never do an NSX swap even if you could mount the motor as the car would just drive backwards!

So, totally different engines.

I think the original Legend shared SOME parts, though.

Well, how are people putting RSX-S engines into the Atom? Elise?

It can be done if that is the only hurdle.
