Default K20 engine swap?

I have a 93 integra LS. Looking to swap the motor for a K20. Give me your thoughts on it.

i will be pretty fast but you have to do a lot of modification to your frame. I have seen it on a crx before and the hood had to be cut because the valve cover sticks out.

waste of money, imo. there are ways to make your car faster for less. search, and you'll find info for whichever way you want to go.

Mounts aren't available for it as far as I know. I wish they were though...I'd be in the market.

i'm sure the EF mounts would work. i would like to see a K-series in my DA. a boosted K24....that would have some torque(for a honda).

It really is a case of 'pay to play' if you have the money, go for it... But if not, it may be wise to just save the money to get a newer frame

it will cost a lot of money... i was looking into it. This site did a break down of what they sold to complete it. Wire harness, the mounts were like 500, axles were like 3-400, and other things. That much you can build your engine.
