I was told that a Legend block and a NSX block is the same? Is that so?

Different block. You can search the acura-legend forum. They've been talking about it for a long time. Fact is, things like the pistons and rods don't fit. The oil holes are in different places, etc. AKA, different block.

That and the NSX blocks are made out of much stronger materials then the legend blocks
