Default NSX C30A into a Legend?

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to install a 1992 c30A from the NSX into the 92 Legend, along with the NSX tranny. They both share the same engine code, so I thought it might be a good possiblity. And most importantly, would it be worth it?
Thanks

NSX is a rear engine car and the Legend is fwd so I don't know how possible that swap would be. I've never heard of the swap being performed, so I'm assuming it's not realistically possible. Most likely you could modify and upgrade the Legend's engine to the same level as the NSX's engine for what it would cost to swap.

Yeah, you would need to know if the Legend tranny would bolt up to the NSX block... It might, but you'd have to try it and find out... You could probably build the C32 up and make close to the same amount of power. You may even be able to swap the NSX heads over...

Take it from me bro, it takes a lot of time money and ingenuity. Im the Perfrormance Moderator for the acura-legend forums and have done the auto to 6spd swap and the only to date 3.5 RL block swap. It took 4 months to figure out and do the block swap and another 3 for the auto to 6spd converstion. Lots of custom parts were fabricated. The NSX is even more of a challenge. I'd do it if i could locate a dirt cheap NSX engine.
