Allu Madigan people are putting kswaps into miatas, 240sx, rx7 and other random cars it just takes a custom adapter to a rwd transmission as well as some other tweaks
Allu Madigan there’s a guy on the internet I seen he made one rwd. It takes a lot of fabrication and money but it’s possible
To let you know for the future you should buy your engines from HMotorsonline.com. They sell excellent extremely clean low mile JDM Engines guaranteed to be in great running condition with between 40K-60K on average but no more than 60K & they have a 100% start up warranty. I always change out the clutch and throw in stage 1 street/strip clutch with a very lightweight flywheel and install new wires/plugs/rotor/T-Belt and Water pump/Thermostat and a few gaskets before I drop it in. Last one I installed I pulled the head and installed a new Head-Gasket, cleaned up the pistons and of course sent the head off to be resurfaced before installing the engine because I put a small turbo kits on the motor running 8PSI of boost. Every reputable tuner shop I know uses HMO as their engine supplier, I know the K24A is $899 from them but i'd rather spend a couple hundred more and know i'm getting a good high quality motor as opposed to rolling the dice and going with a cheap motor off of some dude who says the motor should be in good condition. You know what I mean? I suppose i've just burned one too many times lol, you learn real quick once u loose a little bit of money.
What transmission are using with your swap if u dont mind me asking?
Bill D I am well aware of hmo, I always recommend them to people who are looking for a k swap or any motor for that matter. I on the other hand try to find the best deal on what I’m looking for so you can say I got lucky I guess 🤷🏻♂️ I’m using a rsx type s 6 speed
Is it possible to fit a kseries into a 96 eclipse?
Starting the video with that hit of reality is the one thing every How to swap video is missing.
*Money ,Will, and the Power to be.*
Wow man, thank you for the kind words. I just wanted to be real. I’m Just an average dude so I wanted to give what helped me set this up and organization is seriously important when your on a budget like most of us enthusiasts out there.
@@ChrisBuilt92 Exactly wish I saw this video 6 years ago when I started digging into stuff. I hard to learn the hard way but im happy it happened.
CryptMSC I hear ya man. It all takes time. As we grow older we learn more and more and learn from past mistakes
@@ChrisBuilt92 before putting a new trans and did you put like a new rear main seal in and put new seals and gaskets? Did the same thing and didn't do that the first time and I regretted it!! Best of luck with your build looking good
Simple Man yes I made sure to reseal most of the motor. I didn’t do the oil pan but it doesn’t leak so I’m good. Check out my most recent videos the cars has come along way since this was posted!
Great info, only thing different now (years later) is you have many more parts options, but prices are definitely higher for the same stuff. Beautiful civic
So far I’m at $11k right now. That’s with a jdm k24a/z3 tranny. Going into a eg hatch. That’s almost everything minus exhaust/cold air intake. Bear in mind I did add prb oil pump/oil cooler/water pump housing/cams/rrc manifold/injectors. Most parts are new too. Going k is definitely not cheap! I’m still expected to spend another $500-1k on miscellaneous stuff.
Since this video has been posted, prices have definitely came up. Still a helpful guide for those to know what’s expected
Around how much was the engine And tranny
@Hondad95 can you name most important parts and prices you paid.
It takes 5k to swap a k and run in a cb7…
@@lorenzo5408 beside the engine and trans, the ECU: $1300 for a PRB kpro V4. I would recommend a harness already done for the car, k tuned does one which is the one I got with a conversion another $950, jus to make it plug n play but if you want you can get a regular harness, axles, half shaft would HIGHLY recommend insane shafts $600 for the pair and another $300 for the half shaft. Shifter varies I got a Z3 trans so it was around $850 with cables included
Thanks for the video..and thanks for actually giving numbers on what you spent. A lot of other guys just spend the entire video bragging about how awesome their swap is and not giving numbers.
Thanks for watching! I just try to keep it real man.
For my brothers swap (k24a JDM, 1999 Si)it cost roughly 6-7k with like all the k tuned parts etc. He was new to it so he didn’t know what to buy or what was good. But he pushed about 215-235 with bolt ons and such. The only issue he has gone was getting the right axle. Pushed it the once, the axle came loose and hit the oil filter. But after testing a few out later (Hasport, autozone are no good) we finally got it solved.
I think the best fix is to just buy the correct swap axles and call it a day. No worrying and mine have held up since I put them in!
who the hell thumb down this video?? what can you possible dislike about this? The brother is simply explaining his swap and did an awesome job. This goes to show that no matter what someone is always going to hate. lol! Great video man!
Thanks man🙏🏻🙏🏻 I guess people don’t like free knowledge
This open up my mind and now I am set on what I am looking to do, I have been researching this for some time and finally a good, well details informattion on another person view, I think it will be worth it. thank you for this video
Thanks man! Happy I was able to help. If you have Instagram you can message me on their if you have any questions
I’m actually glad to here you say you have ebay parts because so many people talk shit about Ebay if it works I’m all for it 🙌🏻 good video and glad you keep it real
Thanks for checking it out! You really need to pick and choose what you budget on. You dont want major parts to fail so its ok to take the cheaper route on certain things
Yeah I would love to do it and like you said figure out your budget first I’m am currently running a H22 on my eg hatch but hopefully soon I’ll do a K swap thanks for all the advice
@@2016RoadkingRider no problem man, always happy to help
Damn... I cant sacrifice A/C .. so I may have to stick to a B.
I think hybrid racing makes a kit so you can run ac
Yeah the hybrid kit is pretty nice man. You just need to run a driver side rad. I messed up and originally went with a passenger side k tuned rad kit. Had to sell that to use my ac kit.

Not only that, I answer every comment and dm I get 🙏🏻
Great build, I’m looking forward to a k or b series swap soon. I’m from the El Paso/New Mexico area as well, keep it up. 🔥

Great video man! This is really helpful!
Thanks for checking it out homie
K series on hmo are so freaking pricey, your deal is so good. I'm glad it worked out for you this good
They sure are, you gotta look around. If you have a pull a part or something similar near you can get a good deal on a k24
4k for mine JDM TYPE-R.. ten years ago
Had a b18, k20a3, k20a2 and I've always drooled over the idea of the 24 in a eg or even an ep.
K24 is the goat!
i really enjoyed this video, its loud enough and very clear. straight to the point, keep it up! What would you rate your mechanical skills at? How much time would you say you spent so far on the swap to get it running? thank you! and subscribed!
Thanks man! Appreciate the support. I’d say I’m pretty mechanical inclined I do this for a living. I think with all the parts on hand the swap could be done in a weekend. For me it took several weeks as parts do get pricey
very simple video man appreciate this i really needed to see this no joke trying to swap my ej coupe
Glad you enjoyed it
I got a k20 cl7 euro r and the six speed lsd trans from hmotors throwing it in my eg, great video though you are right about the swap being expensive.
That’s a nice setup, as much money as it may have been I’m sure you will be more then happy with it
hey, you helped me a lot and that's some research and today I bought the subframe and next week I will buy the Alxes and the swap to do the swap thanks for the information now and if it had not been for your video I had in it place with the problem when you can later a video with a swap in Em1 for fans thanks again 💪🏽🙏🏽
Glad I could help man, let me know how it all works out! Maybe in the future! I love my eg though
Thanks again and another questions de radiator what you use ?
LiddoSwaqqer ‘ I used a eBAy half size for a b series/d series and just relocated
and the hose because right now I'm using a D16 and it's there but the hose has a spin
What harness do you use ? I bought the ktuned harness and is diferente not everything but some plugs change 🤔☝🏽
Good video man! Looking at pulling the trigger on my 97 Del Sol.
Hell yea! You won’t regret it. Hit me up on Instagram if you have any questions
Nice man keep up the good work!
Thanks brother
very informative. gave me motivation to kswap my cb7
Glad I could help, cb7’s are awesome man!
Great work and video thinking about doing this. Into my EG if I get a 08 TSX can I use the same 08 tsx harness and ecu. I wanted to be all motor and what transmission is best?
Thanks for the feedback man! You need to use a 02-04 rsx type s engine harness because tsx throttle body uses a electronic throttle body and the ecu will not work with the swap. A kpro ecu is best for the swap but a jdm ecu or a immobilizer bypass l. Highly recommend the kpro for simplicity. Best transmission for the swap is the type s ecu or type r from the jdm dc5. But that route is very expensive. Ep3 5 speed is also a good option

Nice job mate
Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Nice! Thanks for sharing brother. Which intermiadiate shaft did u use or can use? And which starter and alternator can be used? For k24 swap like yours
I personally used one from a rsx type s, you can use a base rsx one too as long as it’s from a stick shift car. Starter and alternator you can use the one that came from the motor your using or interchange between different k series motors
i wanted to k swap a eclipse ever since 2012 because i saw the fast and the furious 1 when i saw brians eclipse the engine reminded me of a k series
Enjoyed this video , we want a EK EVENTUALLY
Do it! Won’t regret it
My 1989 K24A2 CRX just hit the road. I also have the 6 speed LSD. Never did a total price though, kinda scared to 😆
If I were to do the swap today it would be way more money for sure
great informative video thanks!!.. just wondering why you didnt use a K24A? is it more expensive to build? or was it jus availability?
K24a and k24a2 are literally the same motor except ones from Japan
The conversion harness is what plugs up to the RSX or TSX engine harness into your car's factory harness correct?
Yes sir it completes the communication between motor and body. So you have working gauges and all that
Nice job man! I am wondering if it is still possible to add an air conditioner? Is there room for it?
Yea it is possible to add ac! Hybrid racing has a kit you can use for the hoses and they have a write up with what you need to complete it. In the other project I am building I plan on adding ac at some point
Love the video...positive feed back. Keep it up! And what year accord throttle body is that that u used? Everyone keeps telling me use the rbc...but if i can save a few $ ill utilize the factory rbb manifold
Thanks man! The throttle body is from a 03-07 accord. I just upgraded to a rbc so I’m looking to get rid of it
@@ChrisBuilt92 what throttle cable and bracket did u use? Cause i drive an ek coupe
J-Kam Aim 4 Performance the bracket I used is from the tsx manifold I just added a spacer to it and only used one bolt to angle it right. For me I used the stock throttle cable from my car which is a dx cable. I tried using the ek style but it was way too long so I just used the stock one. Worked great
@@ChrisBuilt92 thank u sooo much! Very helpful indeed
J-Kam Aim 4 Performance anytime man
super clean car 👍👍👌
Thanks man! Appreciate that
Thank you so much for the video I am dying to do this. I love 6th gen I had one for a 12 years wish I never sold it. Can you think of any parts of the swap someone might get stuck on like changing the subframe?
Getting an eg/dc2 subframe is important. The mounts that are on eBay work with that. I used it on another build I have here on my channel. Kpro is something that is very expensive so that might be something else. K swap parts are getting expensive so that could be an issue as well
@@ChrisBuilt92 thank you
Nice video man im thinking about this setup
Thanks! Go for it man! It was a lot of fun
Sick video man, I have the exact same setup in my ek. I’ve spent about $4300 on my swap and I still need A few small things like thermostat housing clutch line etc.
Thanks for checking it out! Once the big stuff is out of the way all the smaller items feel good to buy and put on knowing you’re that much closer to finishing the car
Email me erichiesha4070@gmail.com I just bought an electric blue si she’ll want to do a k swap
Thanks for the info !! Just subbed . Also where you from?
Thanks for checking it out man, I’m in New Mexico/el Paso texas
This is really helpful thank you ! I just have a question on where to get the rsx engine harness and shift selector ? Or can I use a different shift selector ..I’ve tried junk yards ,online, marketplace and no luck ! Thanks
Thanks! This harness came from a Facebook group k20a.org is the name of it. Are you talking about the shift selector in the car?
egchris92 I’ll look into it thank you ! And no the one that goes on the transmission I had the k20z3 transmission but replaced the casing to a k20a2 transmission but it had no shift selector to connect to the rsx cables .

Thanks for checking it out!
Right now, my '92 EG hatchback has a d13 engine. But I already had it changed to EFI. My question is, can I use a b20b engine from a CRV and just swap the head to a K20a2 head to make more power and use some of my parts from the d13 efi? Or maybe, might as well just go with a d15b mini me swap? I appreciate the detailed explanation on the video! Keep up the good content. Cheers mate!
Hey man! Thanks for checking it out. Unfortunately b series is only compatible with b series and k can only go with k. The simple eat swap for you would probably be a mini me but with the right parts and money you could definitely do a b series or k series
Oh! I typed in wrong. I meant if I can use a b20b or a k20 from a CRV and then swap a k20a2 head to make more power and if I do so, will I still be able to use some parts in my d13 efi engine. But I think I got what you're saying bro. With me being a broke ass rn bc of this pandemic, I'll probably go with the cheapest which is the mini me build. You think so? CZcams really needs more active on the comment section CZcamsrs like you! I appreciate it man!
Notbaby Meohyeah ooo gotcha, b20b isn’t too bad when it comes to price, the crv uses a k24a1 I’m actually doing a second k swap build using that motor. K swaps get very expensive keep in mind. Going from the carbureted d13 to a mini me will be a worlds difference. It’ll be a whole lot of money saved too compared to a k or b setup
I’m using the same intake manifold and throttle body what did you do with vacuum lines on the manifold and did you delete the IACV?
I plugged the top one and the one on the side I’m using for the brake booster, the iacv is deleted and blocked.
Awesome stuff
Thanks!
@@ChrisBuilt92 il DM you on Instagram
That's awesome great job
Thank you victor 🤣
Could you swap the knock sensors to k20 ones instead of swapping the plug
Yes you could do that too
Great job and info clean job to.

I JUST BOUGHT A JDM K20A PPA-1 BUT NOT TYPE R FOR SURE I NEED HELP FIGURING OUT WHAT CAR IT CAME OUT OF and is good for performance.
Remove the valve cover and see if it has 3 lobes on the cam or 2
Hey man how low is your k24 sitting? Im tossing up whether to go k20 so the sump isnt as low
Sits kind of low, the k24 has a taller head so that’s why it’s closer to ground then a k20. If you raised it up it would hit the hood
Hey Chris! What did you do for a half shaft on this setup? Thanks again for your content.
Yoo! Rsx type s, base or a ep3 half shaft will work
Do you have to swap out the water pump on the k24a2?
Joshua McMillin no, only if you were running a jdm k24a

dumb question but can you k swap a 2000 honda civic DX ?? i’ve only been seeing EG or EK swaps
Yes you can
Did you used a k24 tsx motor man? I need to link up with you. Lol I have same car eg hatch, k24 swap.
Yes the k24 I’m using came out of a 05 tsx, hit me up On Instagram. Always happy to help
How fast is it? Clean set up by the way.
Thanks man, it moves pretty good. I was able to beat a new sti and kept up with a new 5.0 mustang
Why not buy a k24 accord and swap the a2 head on it? Would it be too heavy even if you gutted it? I’ve seen people put the 6spd into it
K24a4 from an accord has a lower compression ratio then a Tsx. So the top end and bottom is much better from a k24a2. K24a2 is worlds better than the accords
egchris92 so just buying a tsx would be much better
MattVideo Productions either that or pulling the motor or buying the motor itself from a junkyard or online
what size is the intake coupler 3 inch?
Hey man if I’m using a k24a2 and accord 5 speed trans which engine harness do I use ?

Dont remember, i put it in one of the videos i did though
Wrecked RSX-S can be had for around $2,000. You can make alot of money back by keeping the swap stuff and parting out the rest of the car. 👍
There’s always this option too, I personally don’t have the space for a wrecked car. But I’ll gladly take parts from one
I might be getting a 2000 civic ex coupe for FREE but it needs an engine 😬 I was thinking about K swapping if so or J... but this vid just made me realize how pricey, and time consuming. Still would have to find somebody that knows what they’re doing to help me
If your interested in a k or j I would say go k! It’s more logical and you will have just as much power the j is limited with what you can do with it. I have a 2nd build going on it’s a budget k swap. Might be something you want to check out to see if it’s something you want to try. Good luck with your build!
@@ChrisBuilt92 thanks! and I just subscribed last night so I will definitely be tuning in
Appreciate it man
I have an 93 eg hatch im really considering going b16 or b18c1 I can’t afford a k swap sadly
The b series are still good, but they are also getting expensive.
You said you would stay away from the k24 from the honda accord, may i ask why? I just got one not running for FREE... my journey begins, id appreciate any feedback.
The k24a4 from the Accord isn’t true vtec. K24a2 vtec is in both intake and exhaust side while the a4 from accord is only on intake side. Makes less power than the a2 from the tsx
@@ChrisBuilt92 ah ok thanks so much sir for replying. Is putting a different head on it an option? If so should it be k24 or k20?
Yes but internals are also completely different
What about the k24a with rbb head? Juat got for my 04 rsx and I'm seeing that intake manifold is slightly different then mine
One thing that could help is maybe with parts u might plan on getting rid of or swapping if it's in good enough condition you could sell those parts for some extra money
This is true, I was able to fund the build by selling the b series parts that came with the car when I bought it
@@ChrisBuilt92 is it better to sell it on something like Ebay or some used auto parts shop?
I’ve used eBay and Facebook marketplace, just remember eBay will charge a fee on the sale
@@ChrisBuilt92 noted
Do I have to do anything to change my Jdm motor to usdm on the water housing side?
Yes you need to put a k24a2 or k20a3/a2 housing

Hey! Would putting a turbo kit on this swap still be achievable given the new swap set up? I don’t have much car experience but I plan on trying to swap it out on my own so I don’t need to pay for labor costs. Can you give me any other advise ?
Yes you can easily turbo it, I actually have another build series where I do that exact thing. It’s the “budget k series” playlist. Check that out and if you still have questions let me know and I’ll be happy to help
@@ChrisBuilt92 THANK YOU so much! Ill be sure and check them out! I am actually flying from Texas to Washington tomorrow morning to get my 91 Integra and bring it back. You mentioned changing the transmission out as well. Did you only do that because you said something about a 6 speed? The car i am getting already has a 5 speed, so do i need to hunt down a new tranny as well? Also, I need to have an AC because its hot AF in Texas. You said a lot of people do not run an AC on K swaps, why?
You will need to run a k series transmission with a k series engine. I went with the 6 speed because of the shorter gear ratio. Most people don’t run ac probably because of it being easier to do so. But to add ac isn’t hard they make kits that work for I swapped cars
@@ChrisBuilt92 Okay. What does the benefit of a shorter gear ratio have verse a 5 speed? Is the difference substantial ?
The 6 speed transmission for the rsx type s has closer ratios so it accelerates faster, there Will be a noticeable difference from that transmission to the 5 speed one
What additional sensor did you have to buy?
O2 sensors?
when using a k24a2 you'll need to use a rsx crank position sensor, you can change or rewire the knock sensor, and the o2 sensor is needed to communicate with the ecu to adjust the fuel trim
@@ChrisBuilt92 thank you very much
No problem! Anytime
I'm doing k20z3 swap on ek and this is what I have so far
800 for shifter and cables
500 for motor mounts
I still need kpro rsx ecu rsx harness and axles for
800 for shifter and cables?!! Must be something special?
You dont have power steering? At all? What's the benefit to that
This car never came with power steering, it’s lightweight and isn’t necessarily needed.
Why can’t you use an oem exhaust manifold? I did on my k24a2 swapped ES1. Took one from a k20a2 ep3. Welded a flange and flex pipe to it, bolted my exhaust to it. But I was trying to do it all on a budget. And since it might get turboed later I didn’t wanna buy a header that may just be temporary. I’m $3200 into my build including the straight body ES1. Kpro, act stage 4 clutch, type S trans, and engine and head studs and rod bolts. were the most expensive bits. Then all the fluid, hoses, shifter box and RSX subframe and axels
I’m sure I could have used it but I knew I wasn’t doing a turbo build. It would have really choked the exhaust so doing the swap header makes much better sense for me and I’d say for most people who intend on staying all motor
What brakes do you have? What MC/SC?
I have a seperate video where i show the brake setup
This is a noob question can you engine swap a honda 2002 dx?
Yes you can, i believe the swap is similar to a rsx believe it or not

What would you recommend for a fun daily? K20a2 swap or B16/B18? Are B series swaps significantly cheaper?

Out of all the engines to swap with is there one that is above the rest of all I really care about is producing like 150hp and just blow my load on suspension....
As of now I think the k24a2 is probably the best bang for your buck. You’ll make way more than 150 right out of the box. My car is lot of fun. I need to finish it again so I can drive it around!
Right on man! Maybe later in my 30’s I’ll try to get more horses but 150 is crazy fun lol, haven’t driven one with more horses yet.
So when I get my eg, besides prepping for the k swap, what would be best to start upgrading first besides suspension?
Well I’d take care of any maintenance the car needs. That way you know it runs good
Lol yeah of course that but I’m talkin upgrades, cosmetics last
Hohmies Mcfly depends on what motor you plan on going with. Most common would be a header and intake hondata ecu. Upgrade the valve train. Things like that.
Did you change the subframe to the eg one
This is a eg, in my other build series I did on a em1
Hey man, my gf gave me her 02 AWD Honda CR-V with a complete k swap. Can I still use the axles that come with it or do I need to Frankenstein some axles?? Thnx in Advance. This swap is going into an eg by the way
I’m not 100% on the awd but I’m more than sure it will need some special axles to make it work. Pretty much all the kswaps benefit from having the proper length axles put in so they don’t break or pop out.
@@ChrisBuilt92 oh ok, I believe I see what your saying. I think u said the name of the place in your video that does special axles for these types of swaps huh??
chris cash I used axles from a company called insane shafts, there’s other company’s out there. Hasport is another good one
@@ChrisBuilt92 I really appreciate this and your time my man. Thnx alot
I bought a Acura Rsx type-s. How much is it going to be for me to get a K20a2?
I’m guessing you bought a type s with no engine? A type s is going to cost anywhere from 600+ might as well swap a k24a2 into it
What fuel rail did you use?
Ktuned
what throttle cable bracket did you use
With the tsx manifold I used a accord throttle bracket and modified it with some spacers
@@ChrisBuilt92 thank you so much watch your video many times glad to see your still active here i will be more active on your channel and sure will give many videos thumbs up for replying back so fast you the best. i was able to purchase one from a honda dealer for 15 bucks thank again
@@dReMiXeDg anytime man, I always answer everyone
That Cv Alxes you used because right now that is happening to me on the side of the passenger I am leaving I have an Em1 with the K swap and right now that is my problem the alxes which you bought can you send me the link please 🙏🏽

Those are longer than that of the type s Rsx only it seems that 36MM does not do it because the conversion is 5 lug type R and is not 32MM is 36MM but thanks for the help and information 🙏🏽
LiddoSwaqqer ‘ they make those same axles in a 36mm brother
LiddoSwaqqer ‘ rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283529555778
the cv axles of the passenger I get because it is very short and since I go 2 inches ahead I begin to do that many people tell me that when you do the kswap in an Ek they change the subframe but like this video I would like to see a similar one but in an Ek the process and everything that has to be changed to have a 100% Complete swap
What ecu did you pair the kpro with?
I am using a pnd from a base rsx. Only difference is no reverse lockout, which isn’t an issue because you would have to almost intentionally put it in reverse while driving for it to happen
Hey man I have an fg2 I picked up for $3300 that I want to use as a donor car when I find a clean EK .. has 144,xxx miles and everything works great , so you think $3300 is a good deal for a full k20z3 swap ??
I think it would be a good deal if you were to part out the fg2, make some money back and then put that into the swap. Why not drive the fg2 they are nice
egchris92 really? So you think that would be an expensive start for a full k20z3 swap ? Also I heard the z3 transmission is a little harder to get in is that true ? And yeah they are nice but the exterior of my fg2 is pretty beat that’s why I got it for so cheap and I’ve always wanted to k swap an ek
I think so because you still need a kpro, wire harness, mounts...etc. Keep the swap nut part out or sell the shell and use that money to fund the complete swap
egchris92 okay or I was also thinking maybe I should sell the fg2 and buy a full k20z1 swap from a rsx type s.. do the k20z3 make more power than the z1’s tho ? Or is it as simple as getting an RBC manifold and basically make the same numbers as the z3?
Ariel Elizalde I’m not sure how they compare man, but the rbc is a must for making good power on the k series I know that
Did you have to do a fuel pump on this build?
No I’m running whatever was in the tank when I bought the car. When the time comes and I’m looking for more power that will be something I’ll look into
@@ChrisBuilt92 alright thanks for the response. I'm preparing to do basically an identical swap. I've got a 95 civic dx hb with the d15b7 I'm preparing to drop a k24a2 into. Thank you for the content.
No problem man, always happy to help. Yep sounds pretty much the same man!
Hold on what about for the EF or ED
Many similar things between eg and ef, some stuff will be ef specific like the mounts, conversion harness...etc
good video thanks
No problem! Happy to help
A gsr long block goes for about 4k now days. A k swap is the cheaper option now.
K is the way! The mounts and different things for it add up but we are talking about years of advancement and technology that the k has over the bseries and it just makes sense

Thank you very much man
Nacho Anytime man
Question does anyone know if the mount kit would fit a k20 automatic for a eg hatchback swap
Manual transmission only
Do you know of someone or a shop that might make some for auto
@@Templer411 no I do not, but I’m sure a fabricator can make it for you
Trying something different on this built ok thanks dude
@@Templer411 anytime, consider a sub please 🙏🏻
How much was it to do all that?
Like 3500-4000 I think it mention it somewhere in the video
Thanks : )
Anytime!
