I believe K24 weights around 413 lbs. (including transmission), while FA20 is in the range of 480 lbs.

The engine can have a cog on the oil pan. If you mount it on the roof, what good does that part specific cog do you?
Yes, the cars have a low cog. No, it's not specifically because of the Boxer engine.
