I did. Acura sent me a FWD 3.5 one which looks the same except for the throttle body pattern, they ended up swapping it out for me. I also had to order a P2R throttle body spacer/adapter plate to fit the CL-S throttle body.

Props on getting it done!. I was doubtful but it turned out well. What was the final parts total to put this together?

Ahead? Just a round about figure 2k, 3k, 4k?

Ahead. Not really sure to be honest. The bseries engine in the car was worth much more than the CL.

Sick sick sick. What was wrong with the CL-S when you got it for parts?

Notice how its leaning? The car went off road and the right frame rail /strut tower slammed into the firewall.
