Default need lots of opinions on this...

I have found a K20a3 engine with a K20A head. this is a full swap, but instead of the 6speed trans it would only be a 5speed (still around 210hp stock). The total miles on the setup would be 26k (24 K20a head, 27 on K20a3 block and tran). Im new to the whole K series concept, so is this possible to interchange the heads on the engine throughout K series? I know you could with some of the other honda engines. The guy wants $3800 for the setup which is a good deal cheaper than what ive been seeing which is around $4-6k for the K20A. So what do you guys think? I could sell my set up and pay for more than half the cost of this Kswap, and still get about 40-50 more hp from the engine alone. let me hear some fedback on this one

freakin D17 man. I hate it, no matter what you do it still smothers power. This is everything on the car right now:
Skunk2 exhaust
Megan headers and downpipe
Injen CAI
AEM power pulleys
AEM Adjustable Cam Gear

all that and im still sittin at 165hp....maybe. Im just tired of the D-series. I dont want to go forced induction, so Im gonna go bigger engine.
