Default questions about k20 drop

as you can see my name has K20 in it, i'm seriously thinking about droppin in a K20 engine in my 92. Does anyone know what kind of price range i will be lookin at to have this done. I currently have a 92 civic auto 4dr. I'm planning on just doing it for looks, system and suspension for now. I would like to drop the k20 in about 1-2 years. later.

a while ago i was at streettuners.com and got info on all the honda/acura engines. One of the K20 engines listed was a K20C. From what i saw at K20.org this doesn't exist is that true? Just wondering if its a typo. Its listed under a type S RSX. thanks for the sites good info.

thats for just the engine. start adding up the cost of everything you need to get the swap done and it adds up quick.

True story. Lot of labor involved...the wiring is a fawkin nightmare. Me and my buddy did a K20A3 from a Civic Si into an EK hatchback...took us about 10 hours. Don't wanna do it again. :ugh:
