Someone in my local area is selling a K20 Engine for $1500 CDN. Is that a good deal?

What is required to successfully swap this into my car? How much would it cost me to have this put into my car? Or should I attempt to do it myself and some friends?

i think it is an a3. the CDN SiR had the k20a3. seller didn't bother posting any good info on it, though.

however, i bet v-teck kicks in hard.

Thanks. Why are they crap? Boost is an option for the future.
They are giving away the motors for free?

K20a3's are slow lol. they are the crappy k-series. but if ur gonna build and turbo and boost it, i guess if it's in ur price range do it. but there are A LOT more things you are going to need to make this swap happen. axles, mounts, shifter box etc...

yeah bro the a3 dosnt have that extra lobe but i guess it has vtak haha and its a very expensive swap just save up and get an a2,z1,or z3

haha nah bro just an expression in regards to how crappy that motor is

my friend paid 6k for a k20z3 swap and that already includes all the parts and engine. it took a few weeks because he did it in 08 when k swap werent that popular yet but the car runs in the 12's with that k pro street tuned and no boost. i drove the car myself and we have taken it to the extreme.. that is serious all motor power but if you want basically the same amount of power for half the price get a h22 swap for about 3k
