I'd rather buy an unmolested K20A2 than somebody's failed K20A project.

for what he listed, it's a GREAT deal, you can sell the stuff you won't use, like the header and mounts for a good $800 total.

the IM pictured is an rcrew manifold, so i'm sure thats the reason he wrote that, so that people won't think they are getting an rcrew manifold instead of a prc manifold.

Yes, it's a good price for what is listed, assuming it is as described and assuming you get everything you're getting in the description.

I hope you know what you're doing, though. This could end up being a lot of trouble for you if it's *not* as described or if something goes wrong with shipping in several packages.

For comparison, the complete K20A DC5 ITR motor *and* Type S USDM transmission in my car cost $4500 even.
