I would personally do a K20, but that's because i'm helping my roommate with and H22 swap for his CRX and its hell.
I'm just lucky I have a B series in mine

you have to do that for either swap, but that is the least of your worries

Good luke trying to get a hood to fit over a k24/k20, and i personal think if you can swap in a B you can swap a K. People make it seem like some kinda of open heart surgery or something.

I'm not saying it can't be done but it's not easy. a K20 will fit under a EF raised hood with some trimming but a K24/20 takes some work. On a side note a H is a little more practical then a K in a crx (emission suck).
