i was doing a K series in my CRX, i priced it all out, for a TYPE-S its still $8000 WITH ME DOING THE LABOR. SHow me where you can buy Toda ITBs for $1000, KPRO for $300, nad mounts for $250 an ill buy them today, cause ill make MAD PROFIT on them.

a K20A3 with what you have listed, MAY make 180whp, and the Kblock only rev to 6500, you can push it to 8000, but they spit rods out the block at that high of an RPM. If you want to rev to 8000, do a b16, they can handle 9500 as long as you have the valvetrain

K series is OUT OF THE QUESTION, you cannot do it for $5000, no way. an your missing ALOT of stuff to make the K work in an EF. my estimate is more accurate, then add $1000 for misc stuff like FPR, fuel lines, GE fuel rail, and more. an its a VERY complicated swap which requires an halfcore radiator, cahssis welding, its not a bolt in swap by any means.

Krucial, look at option 3 i posted, it was SOHC VTEC boost Even a GSR longblock for $1500 doesnt give him a Trans, (cable $300, hydro $600-700), mounts, axles, ecu, shift linkage, etc.
