it all depends what you like there are so many options and with the amount of cash you have you'll be able to do anything you want so i would try doing some researching on different set ups and motors being that you dont know to much

i recommend a B 18 swap you can get alot more out of that one for less $$$ and you can find mounts easily for that swap a k 20 your gonna spend at least 1000$ just to throw it in

There is about 10 different sure fire ways to make alot of horsepower out of these little motors. However the K-swap is going to take you further down that road to "be all you can be".

with that much money...K20 hands down. Stock K20 w/ bolt ons will run the same time as a mildly built b18.

Am I going to be the only one who suggests doing something smarter with that money, like investing it?

Why spend it all building a car that you'll never see a return from, when you could put that money away for a few years and have it later on down the road? Kind of a waste isn't it? $20,000 is a lot of money to sink into a car.

Reason Ill have 20k to build a car is because I don't need a house and I will make a good amount a year. Anyway anyone know of a good place that swaps k20s?

k24 with the rsx-s head.... Check out rcrewracing.com... I think if you look at the sponsor pages as well hybrid sells all of the parts you will need to hook it up....

K20a.org

your in folrida right? K swap is not a hard swap just kinda pricey, so anyone that can do a B-swap should be able to do a K swap. Tuning is the best part, gotta find someone who knows how to tune a K series (Hondata K-pro, or now AEM has released there EMS)

aye 20 grand, = k20, which is badass stock, then you can build it like not many IF any have yet.... And still have a lot left over for roll bars, seats, suspension, and other such things like tires... it should come out to about that price... if you go for high quality stuff... at least my guess, probably less though.
