Default K swap advice.

Alright I have a K20a2 head on k20a3 bottom, im planning on buying a shell and swapping it in but not keeping the car. so i was wondering what shell i should put it in the get a quick sale? and yes i know i could just sell the swap but putting it in a car will get me more money in the end.

I welcome all negative rep. but will give positive to anyone the least bit helpful.

Swaps like that rarely make money. In the end you'll end up loosing money.

You can't give positive rep to anyone. Was that helpful?

K20a3 bottom is not the choice you should go with. The A3 is the eco motor not meant for sportiness. Its still a fun motor, but k24>K20A3.
worth of the bottom end of a A3.... jack shit, its worth the block in scrap.
no, I wouldnt put it in "real quick". I would sell the A2 head for 350, and scrap the bottom end.
You do realize the 02-04 rsx ecu's are in the neighborhood of $200 before kpro, which is another 900. Even just to run a Immobilizer in a stock ecu is another 250. Or run a JDM ecu is at least 300.
trans is not the 400 gsr. its a average of 750 for a 6 speed, or 800 for a ep3.
Essentially:
If your not trying to build a car for yourself to enjoy, then dont look at k series.
