Default j32 vs k20!!!!

alright so I'm still trying to decide which swap to go with, the j32a2/j35a4 is great, cheap, and will look great sticking out of the hood, and has plenty of potential for a 400-500hp output, however parts are non existent and weight kinda scares me, now the k20a2, tons of parts out there, legendary, and lightweight, but its f****** expensive for the motor and parts, hopefully y'all can help me sort all this out, or at least give me yalls input, thanks

h22 is a horrible motor for boost the cylinders are not like other motors. buying a k24a4 and throw boost to that u can make 400hp on stock block. the A4's are cheap I have a long block ive been trying to sell locally with low miles for 600.

b18c piston/rod combo + Go-Autoworks Tuner kit.

Less than $5k for the k series and 400-500hp doable.

Now if you want to stay in the two options you mention go with the K.

It's a WHOLE lot easirt to go K finding parts for a j are not as common by a long shot. also if you're asking these types of questions I doubt you will be doing the swap your self. 360hp all motor k....get ready to shell out BIG

i WISH i had the time and resources to do the swap myself, the other thing being that I'm definitely new to this, as far as foreign cars go, its the "shelling out BIG'' that takes me back to the j, even having parts made looks like it'll be cheaper, but even still from everyone else's opinions, its looking like a k swap, however I'm hoping y'all all know the price difference, $300 for a j32a2, $4000 for a k20a2….

If you are basing your goals by $300 vs $4k, you are not in the right pat sir.

Also, skunk2 it's a very good brand but not is the almighty and very price.

what does h22 and boost have to do with J vs K thread
any ways a mild comp NA h22 on e85 will see 250whp-265 all day or
a f23 stroker on a f20b will also make 260whp easy that will cost around 3500 sleeved and everything
you will need a k24/k20 mildly built for 260 true hp not inflated numbers that are all over the place
