And god damn! K20A are not cheap for you! It cost 3.5k CAN for a full Type S swap over here. And when I mean full it's almost everything.
Well that's where the motor was shipped from

PS you will NEVER see 240whp from that motor with the parts you've listed. Not without MAJOR headwork and some serious tuning. A transmission doesn't add or free up any horsepower last I checked, lol.

As for the price, perhaps it has gone down since last I investigated. Still most people I know who do their own installs report spending around $6k start to finish (including the motor/ tranny).
