K20 in my lx 09 civic

So I want to do a swap but I'm moving to SoCal here soon. I was wanting to put the K20z3 and the 6 speed from the 09 Si in. What all needs to happen for it to run right and be legal in california? Does it drop right in? Thanks!

Search!! Lots of info on the Google.

K swaps are one of the bread and butter swaps of the Civic community.

Could be a huge problem. Thoroughly research their emissions regulations before you commit to anything

Simplest solution: Sell your car. Use that money to buy a real Civic SI
