Nice guesses! Its a J32A3 from my old 04 TL. Long story short: gave the car to my mom three years ago, then she called me and told me it broke down. The repairs cost more than replacing the engine, so I bought an 06 TL motor and had a shop swap it in and took back the 04 motor.
Total spent on the new motor plus install was $1,500.
Now that I have the 04 engine, I know it'll be A LOT of work to make it work. Still doing the research but I'm confident it can happen.
It needs:
New timing belt and water pump
Replace the head, spark plugs, and ignition coils
New transmission
Motor mounts
I also need to research how I'll figure out the wiring/ECU hook up. This will be fun and frustrating. lol
Here's the actual photo of it. Don't mind the plants, I stopped by a garage sale and found some plants I wanted.
