It would be massively foolish to go through the trouble and expense of an engine swap, (without even a kit for it, so completely custom fabbed) so that you can have the same power level available to you with a stock engine. But hey, you might get a little better mileage with less displacement.

p.s. the biggest advantage of a k-swap is the high rev. That's beneficial because the power comes higher up with less torque. Torque is the enemy of transmissions....

a) yes
b) yes
c) This is a non-argument. Read the 55 pages of Element Tuning's thread on here. The NA FA20 can't handle the g's we're pulling; boosting it only makes it worse.
I'm reading pioneer stories online about the L being the next K.
A local car dismantler in Portland has over 30 long blocks sitting in their warehouse. The K motors need to be ordered in. AR Motorsports (local to Portland) usually buys K24A2 long blocks 2-4 at a time.
Again, I'm most likely doing the k swap. But would like to weigh both Honda options.
