Excellent engine choice. You will need a CRV engine bracket or equivalent (K-Tuned, P2R, etc.), a longer serpentine belt, and you will have to lengthen and change the engine harness clip for the crank position sensor. As for your header, it likely will not work because of the increased deck height of the K24 block... you may be able to make it fit based on what it contacts when installed. A K24 specific header for a FA/FD application makes things easier. Since you will be using the Si intake manifold, your intake will fit.

You may also have to modify your heater hoses if you do not swap the hard lines and cylinder head coolant housing from the K20Z3.

It depends on the tune. It can be made to "feel" like the K20Z3.

There is a guy on youtube that just did his 08 civic k24 swap. Go check out his channel Gerb Productions. You can also message him on instagram and he responds pretty well.
