a stock type s motor i've seen around 5 grand maybe. i wouldn't piece together a motor its better to buy everything whole and do the swap yourself. do some research on 7thgencivic.com cause they have diy's for the K20 swap

I've seen type s motors run 3500 just buy a crashed type s and swap it. Then you can get the brakes and other parts too.

Why does it have an Si head but RSX Type-S bottom end components? Seems like a waste

not worth it imo.. Save alittle more and go for the full type S swap... Differnt parts from all around just sounds shaky...If I had 4 grand and I didnt feel like waiting longer to save up money for K20 swap, I'd just boost it...

not worth it to just get different parts from different K series. just get the type-s swap and leave it at that. why even get the type-s bottom end and the si head??? don't make sense at all.
