Thumbs up My 3.5L Swap
Few days ago I cracked the oil pan. I asked my brother (Acky91) how can i fix it, and he told me I have to put the new one. Also I have to pull the engine out, however he asked me, Why not put the 3.5 in it? and you know that was great idea. So, next day i called to my local LKQ and asked them if they have any engines from Acura RL. They found one with low mileage.
Today I start my engine swap.

Here is pictures of my progress:

Poor cracked oil pan


























To be continue...

This is looking good, way to make a the best of a bad situation; looking forward to this build. What TYPE II components do you plan to outfit your 3.5 with?
