Awesome progress, don't ever give up!
I just saw this post. Kind of interesting. What would be the best engine for the 95? I know I'm going to need to do this swap eventually. I might as well start learning now.

Yeah, I saw that article when it came out in 2009, inspiring.
As far as which J motor to swap into an NSX, I would stick with the J32A2 or the J35A3 for the 91 to 94 drive-by-cable cars and probably the J32A3 or J35A5 for the 95+ drive-by-wire cars.
