that i know of, if you run a k24 you wont be able to run a hood, my homie put a k20 in his ef and had to modify a sir hood and the passenger side headlight housing, then buy a bracket to re route the belt, he also had to modify the shift plate from a eg, he did get a sheet of aluminum and eventually made his own shift plate, as for the hood the k24 sits too high, i could be wrong, jus thought i would warn you

shim the motormounts down and sir hood with spacers and cut webbing. pita.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
My other question is do I need to tune the ecu with k pro myself before I start to drive my k24 swap?

my homie bought the k pro ecu and a wire harness and had to get the jdm cluster cuz its digital, that way vtec would work
