Rep Power: 0 i talked to him on aim, and from what I remember its everything except the mounts which you can get from hasport, dont quote me on it though.
I was wondering why nobody has been talking about buying motors from truehonda, theyve been up for a while, and he seems like a great vendor

the diff. between a k20a2 and k20a is the cams, intake mani, gears, final drive, flywheel, lsd, pistons.
if you're gonna leave the motor relatively stock, a k20a would be your best bet ... but if you plan to replace everything internally anyway, a k20a2 would be your best bet.

in that case:
differences are: pistons, rods, head, tranny/gearing, balanced vs. balanced and counter balanced crank, crank pulley, electric vs. hydraulic power steering

no aznboy is right... I think familycar is confusing engine codes here.... becuase why on earth would you want to put a K20A3 head on a K20A2 motor?
K20A = Type R
K20A2 = Type S
K20A3 = Base Model Motor

Rep Power: 323 from the site:
this is not a 7th gen swap it is a dc5 swap. and the trans is included. you'll need a radiator mounts some harness work. ps lines SI axles and other tid bits.
Full swap that Includes Long and Short Block, ECU, Axles, all accessories. All wiring harnesses are uncut and will come with A/C and P/S Pumps. DC5R Transaxle will also be included with the entire swap. You will recieve everything needed to swap into a DC5/RSX straight up minus the subframe

isnt the only difference the head??? wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a k20a2 motor and swap the a3 head out???? it would be easier and cheaper to buy a a2 motor but i dont know how much the a3 heads go for. i couldnt imagine it would be more than $1k for a stock head. and that would still be cheaper than buy a complete k20a3
k20a3 is si or base rsx
