A K20 is a nice fantasy, but some of us don't think paying $5-6k for a 4 cylinder motor + the price of mounts is a smart decision.
H motor does not weigh 75lbs more than the B series...there is a whole huge thread with the two weighed out at a shop..its more like 45lbs...which is no big deal.

and how do you get this info? if you get a 94-95 H22A they have a semi closed deck and love boost...and before you go stouting off which is easier, have you ever done an H swap?
as I have stated many many times, if I were to do another honda project it would be an EK hatch with a boosted 94 H22A and it would desimate. I love the H swap.
