If you 't know much about engines, are specifically the K20 swap, i'd say take it to a shop or get/pay people to help you. It's definately not gonna be a direct swap.

K20 swap into an EM2 is going to be pretty straight forward. I would be concerned about which header will fit, and if you need to do anything about axles. you might be able to retain power steering, and AC, but it could be a mess.

I'm guessing a lot of RSX parts will work, since the EM2 is the same platform. have you dug through the forums on K20A.org?

oh please tell me you have a K20A2 or K20A, and not an A3...

your gonna need a RSX doner cause there are alot of parts you'll need

[jfman]

You need the RSX cradle that I know.

It shouldn't be too bad of a swap, but I would definitely get someone to help who has swapped a K20 before (you always need WAY WAY WAY more parts than you could even think of...trust me!) :-) Good luck with it; post some pics along the way!
