Post Thinking of a K20 Swap. tips and pointers plz

i currently have a jdm gsr b18c in my EK. i love it! but im thinking about swapping it out for a k20z3. i want the z3 for the LSD. how much could i sell my jdm gsr for? and about how much could i get a k20 for? is it worth it? what more do i need other than shift cables and such? lets chat about it, i dont want to open up a can of worms here.

thanks

Will the k is a lot better but the money/hp ratio = the b


i have a k20z3 in my garage but it needs about $4000 in parts for the swap all new parts and good brands + warranty

If you just want the LSD can't you just drop the tranny and put an LSD in it? K series is a bit more work than just keeping the B...
