Swapping A D17A1 with a K20A3 - 9/19/2007 4:55:33 PM    iFuSioN   Posts: 47 Joined: 9/4/2007 Status: offline My dad has a friend who's selling a used k20a3 engine, so im planning to put it in my '01 civic LX which already has a D17A1 engine. I haven't found out how much the k20a3 is yet because i just found out today from my dad, So i was just wondering what parts am i going to need to swap out the engines and an estimation on how much the parts for the swap is going to cost around? - Thanks (sorry i dont have any pictures at the moment right now) < Message edited by iFuSioN -- 9/19/2007 5:05:41 PM > Post #: 1
