why would you want to though....Kseries motors are just as good if not better than the F series (F20c) ....the stock F20c head barely flows better than the K20 head..in fact the K20a2 have been able to dyno close to stock S2k specs (190+hp@whp)w/ simple boltons and Hondata with a few running ITR cams,manifold, ITR ecu making as much power as a F20c w/ Toda Spec II cams/valvesprings/i/h/e/vafc tuning (220-230whp)

Its rear wheel drive.

From what I have heard it runs a 13.0, with a Zex Kit and a wide body being pure metal.

at the cost of a rwd conversion engine tranny etc, you would probably be able to score a k20a2h a hytech motor kit that would pump out 265+ whp. that would KILL alot of cars out there...
