Default K20a2 head + a3 block...

hey guys, i was talking to my friend the other day about how i could get more power with my car. It's pretty quick as of right now for a daily, but i want a little more. Yes i know it would be smarter to just buy a a2 longblock, but im wondering how complex an a2 head on the a3block would be? Suggestions are welcome but please keep the flaming comments to yourself, im about being different then everyone else. i dont want to boost since it's my daily so help me out some. Thanks.

How much power are you looking for? If you're looking for around 220-240, you might as well just do a JRSC set up. With the work involved with the head swap, you might save 500-800 bucks than if you just went with a complete swap or JRSC.

If you just want to do it just to be different, then the answer to your question is yes, but it will not be very reliable unless you build the block as well.

BTW, this has been done/covered a lot in many forums. Hit up google and see what's out there. I think this thread might be worthy of staying open for searching purposes.
