    Gregg i think you can agree that 95% of the poeple on here cant built your engine swap, setup for $3000 thats just wishful thinking.

    K20A2 Head $600-900
    K24 NON TSX Block $500
    Rods and pistons $800
    Springs and ret $500
    Cams $900
    Header $400-600
    Tranny $500-1000 depending on EP3 or TYpe-S

    then you have the intake manifold, karcepts kit, wiring harness, engine mounts, head work, kpro, axles, fuel system, clutch, flywheel, TB, gaskets, i mean the list goes on and on. I cant see anyone doing that swap even hunting down deals for under $7000-8000 if you pay a shop to build the motor, do the machine work AND THE SWAP.

    I think you swapped a lot of parts you previously bought or parted out your D series, so you still have to account for the INITIAL cost.
