Default B20 Swap Cost

Ive looked around and used the beloved search button but all of the threads about this topic seem to just say "search stupid".
So here is my question, I have a ej8 and i want to do a b20 swap, ive heard mixed things about using hasport mounts vs the stock b20 mounts(not sure if they will even work)
and the intake manifold not clearing the hood.
If anyone has done this personally what did you do about this?
And also excluding the motor and trans how much did it cost you.

you bumped it within a half hour? relax man.

Your best bet is to read the - how to build a reliable b20vtec thread. Then go searching for all the little parts you need in the for sale section.
READ THIS - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1676914

I would imagine you can find things like this-

b20 short block- 2-500
b16/18 head- 3-600
b16 trans- 4-800
skunk/blox/aebs/ebay manifold- 1-300
header- 2- 1000 depending on brand
clutch- 150- 500
ecu- 175 from phearable.net
throttlebody- 40- for a used stock one, 150+ for aftermarket

not exactly sure what your abilities are but you would have to account for labor, wiring, being able to essentially correctly bond the b20 block with vtec head

thanks alot for all the info but i was actually thinking about just a b20 longblock and a b16 or a gsr tranny. I just didnt know about the mount situation and the axles and shift linkage. Like which ones are best and which oem honda axles can you use instead of 500 dollar hasport pacakges
