yeah I see you point but putting a K20 into a teg chasis involves over 2k in parts (if you want to do it right at least) you gotta get custom axles, mounts, header, Kpro if wanted to upgrade and a couple of other little things and these things come upto more than 2k just in parts. The price range for a k20-R usually range $4500-$5900. It really just comes down to money and personal preference. From people that I've seen with k20A swaps which are very FEW have said they've spent over 8k plus just in parts and the motor...And most parts for K20 run for a nice chunk of change since K20's are still pretty new...I was thinking of throwing a K20A into my hatch and when I started adding everything and the amount of money I was gonna spend I just started laughing, maybe later on with another project in the future when K-series parts are cheaper and a Kpro ecu is not more than $900+
