They're out there, specifically whats your question?
Check out Power Rev Racing (P2R), they have done afew 3.2/3.5 swaps one of their race cars had a custom turbo setup on it, but I think that motor was a J30A4 all manuals of course.

They're actually selling a j32 block with 3.5 internals that put down ~300whp over on v6p.net in the classified section.

Doesn't have to be a CLS 6spd tranny, although I personally think it has a better feel then the rest, coming from a guy who has a J32/6spd swap.

Other then that search around and see what comes up, you'll find a tad bit more relevant tech info on v6p.net however.

I'll let others chime in on some of the other details.

I would take the J32a2 block complete over any combination of other J parts. It has the best cooling, sleeves, head, and bore to stroke ratio. The only upgrade that makes sense to me would be the RL cams.

lost another one to v6p :wtf1:

^Why the hostility?

Don't go with the CL-S Tranny if you can help it...

If the used tranny has a worn flywheel, then you will have to get a new CLS Flywheel with all the sensors, which is 460shipped.

If you go for Accord 6spd (non LSD) or Acura TL 6spd tranny, you can get flywheel from either for under 100 dollars, and $40 to resurface.

RL cams dont fit the A2 heads, they're not long enough apparently.

Mmm I see, I found a long long thread full of information on frank motors, but yeah nobody tried this one. Well I guess the J32A2 the way it is would be what I would go for if I had a V6. The compression ratio leaves a bit of room for that Comptech SC too.
