You can present any questions, hopefully someone can respond.

My question is, can y ou swap out a 2004 Acura TL Engine and ****** for a 2008 TL Type S? 

Is so, how much work will it be or would it be an easy swap?
 
The Post Your Car Thread will probably be your best bet for help on this

I don't see why not. There have been people who swapped in that J35 motor into Accords. Go on Google to find some of those builds.

?? I think you might need more than a engine and a transmission ... he might also need all kind of extra **** to make it fit and work properly .. but then again, I dont really know to much about this ****.

I'm assuming the OP knows about this and that it's just not simply taking a motor and dropping it in

If you read his question, he is asking if it would be just as simple or if he needs to do more stuff to make it work.
 
da question is why would you?

da TL and TL-S engine performance is NEGLIGIBLE, for you to go thru a entire swap for such lil gains...
3.2 L J32A3 (258 hp) V6
3.5 L J35A8 (286 hp) V6
[th="row"]  [/th]
for what you would pay to do a swap you could basically to afford a buy a TL-s outright...

learn how to massage more power out da 3.2L...
 
I really want a mercury marauder, but they are hard to come buy.  What type of mods could I do to a crown vic or a grand marquis to get similar output?
 
Da TL-s is garbage tho...
Is cool, I didn't ask for that opinion, but thanks for sharing.

I'm trying to do a swap because my engine died after 250K of hard miles. 

I want to see if a 08 Type S engine will work and while I'm at it, change the transmission.

The reason I want to do both is because 1. the engine is going to be drop 2. the price I'm getting both for is 1500 for basically 58K miles of usage.

The Mercury Marauder was based on an updated version of the Ford Panther platform that was introduced for 2003. The Marauder had a naturally aspirated 4.6 L V8 DOHC Ford Modular engine producing 302 hp (225 kW) and 318 ft·lbf (431 N·m) of torque; this engine had many parts — including heads, cams, block and rotating assembly — in common with the 2003–2004 Mustang Mach 1 Automatic and the 2003–2005 Lincoln Aviator. The Marauder featured a dual exhaust system with unique tailpipe tips, with newly developed chassis and suspension modifications – such as moving the rear shocks outboard of the frame rails, which were later made available for the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. The Marauder was fitted with the 4R70W 4-speed automatic in 2003 and received the upgraded 4R75W 4-speed automatic for 2004. Both years featured the aluminum drive shaft from the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. The limited slip differential with a 3.55 rear axle ratio was standard fitment on all Marauders.

basically, you do some suspension work, axel ratio change, and either supercharge da 2 valve, or swap in a 4 vavle..but if you're going thru da

trouble of swapping a engine you might as well get a coyote engine from da new 5.0 that makes 400ish horsepower.

Where did you get this bs from.  The Marauder was based on a updated version of the Marauder from the 60's.  This copy and paste nonsense on NT has to stop.  You don't have to pose like your the all insight one who knows all NT.

Say you?

I guess my question is trolling? or not cool? or just a question?

hope off please - you came in and fail at your stupid attempt to get some LOL's .... smh!
say i? hope?

what the hell are you even typing. 

this is just more garbage clutter that you could have easily went on google and found people who already did jseries swaps to find success/horror stories.

and you're leaving out other pertinent info such as are you going 5A to 6M, etc

also whoever said the TL sucks, the J-series simply sucks when trying to do aftermarket mods.

This right here... you could certainly pull it off, but there are far more cost effective ways to build a much faster car.

Cam + Supercharger = Faster than a stock Marauder & alot cheaper. Downside is depending on cam profile and how much power you want the idle could be pretty rough, but some people prefer that lopey sound of a beastly SOHC.

There was an article a few years ago (I think in HotRod Mag) about how to build a Panther faster than a MM for a fraction of the price.



You could also source a motor out of a Lincoln Mk VIII or Cobra Stang if you wanted a smooth and quiet N/A DOHC version.
