dont forget the k20a2 intake manifold as well.
but honestly the cost of the tranny, crank, rods, pistons, head, intake manifold, and all teh ebarings, rings and gaskets it seems that buying complete swap is a lot smarter.

You can put an a2 head on an a3 block although I'm sure there are some parts that you'll need to make it work. I haven't ever researched it.

i read on one of the other k fourms that u can do it but staying stock engine internals( shirt block) with a k20a2 head is not worth the time some one had said it has given em 35 whp but only .1 off the quater at 13.3 or sumthig like that


also arent k20a3 cheaper because i had seen some k20a3 go for around 500 dollars

also if this doesnt work the k-series is alot more faster than my d16z6 with i/h/e

and i was also thinking about building one which i have in my garage which is outside of the car ( i am selling 2 d16's that i was building to a friend for 500 and i contacted someone that is willing to sell me a k20a3 long block for 500)

i dont even care about this car its kinda a project i picked up on the side i had the money so i just bought the car its not my daily so i can expletive with it
