Call up a couple scrap yards, I bet you could get a k20z3 from a smaller one that wants to move inventory quickly for $3000 and see it running. Mention that you need the RSX parts and the transmission too, and that you'd buy it all from them for the right price you'll get the best price possible.

The only time I would consider buying from a online JDM seller is if I wanted a k20a.

I'll keep looking. What do you guys think of these so far?

Internet help can only help you if YOU willing to help YOURSELF, dammit! A guy that can't decide for his own gender will not be able to swap. Period!

There was this fella that thought his problem was trans, and we thought so, but after another guy actually drove the car, it could have been his wheel bearing. All depends on YOUR input. Period again...
GIT a GRIP! kids...
take the freaking car to a shop and let the pros deal with it. you not nearly enough to DO IT.
