You have lots of money but not so much knowledge. Go do some research or pay someone to do the swap for you.

Theres a good amount of custom fabbing that goes into that project. You'll need to know how to weld, thats for certain. Just get out and do your research

Why a K20 do a more popular swap? Like a B16 or a D16. It is going to be alot of work to get a K20 under the hood of a 1995.

If you have 10k laying around go for it. Otherwise get a b18c1 and build it right. It'll still be a monster.

^+1 if you have 10k to spend, you could always spend 10k on another engine and eat almost any car on the street.

ya i agree as well, but im just saying thats why people like the k20s so much. you can build a nice b series for a pretty nice chunk of change and get a turbo kit and be up to 350 whp at minimum.

I will have to agree with everyone else on this, but make sure you got a extra car to use. My uncle did a K20 swap and he was without a car for 2 months. It's not like a B series that can be swapped in and out in one weekend.

But if you have the money and time and a extra car go for it .
