Not possible. The new K series engines rotate clockwise while the B series rotate counter clockwise. You'd need some custom fabrication=$$$$$$$$ not worth it. Besides the K20A3 is a better engine than the B18C5.

Only from Japan

(or Europe). Ah there was a site where they dropped the K20A2 into a 7th gen HB. Instead of dropping it in, they needed to lower the car onto the engine.
