what i mean is there is alot more to do to drop in a k series. all the extra parts and labor will cost more than the motor itself. im currently looking at doing a K20A-R and it is going to over $10k when all said and done to do it correctly. some people try to get cheap becuase they have no money left after buying the swap

you can drop a B series ITR motor in your car for half that.

you can get the swap for around $4k at hmotorsonline.com

you can get the K20A-R swap for $5500

$6500 is way over priced
