Default k-series swap info

it's obvious the 01' - 05' is not as cheap to do a motor swap as the old days of the b-series. i've heard a couple of different ways to do a k-series into the em. is it possible to get all the mounts and crossmember off of the civic si (02 - 05') or the rsx and is there any writeups on doing the wiring harness for this chassis, i have breifly searched but all info i found didn't quite define what had to be done and yes i know that hasport has kit, but oem is nice too

You won't be able to run OEM, without removing the stock mounts and welding in some new ones.
