More ephatch'ers have done the head swap, but I don't think many people have done it in quite a while.

That's because there's just not a lot to gain with just swapping the head. You'll get better breathing with the high cam, but you won't have the A2's higher compression, and you won't have the oil squirters and whatnot that's included in the A2 block.

The consensus these days is that a motor swap produces a better result than just a head swap, and the effort involved is about the same.

I'll bet that k20a.org has a bunch of info, too. I'd dig around there.

if you got the $$$ get a k24 block while your at it. OR just swap the blocks and get a nice powerband.

Yes you can, do a search. HAsport sells mounts and probably more conversion parts.
