And even if you used a K20A or Z head on a K24 bottom end, the K20 has an 8000rpm redline which is only 600rpm higher than ours. Remember that the K20 head on the K24 block will drop the K20 head's effective power range a few hundred rpm, and you're back in the same ballpark as the FA20.

Unless I am mistaken, it is a custom bracket or a custom bell housing. Then it would be necessary to do a custom driveshaft and potentially a custom shifter. Even keeping the stock transmission may require all these components because the engine has been shifted closer to the firewall.

Honestly, the value in keeping the factory driveshaft is a little pointless, especially considering one of the big appealing features of this swap is weight reduction. An aftermarket aluminum driveshaft is a relatively cheap way to lose static weight (not even bringing up the rotational argument). So since an aftermarket driveshaft is already going to be on the list of mods that would support this project, it's a pretty simple thing to have it made to length to suit this application.
There IS value in keeping the factory shifter location though, so that would need further investigation.

Also, some really quick Googling shows the K24 motor is about 20" long, whereas the FA20 is 18". Not a lot of difference, which additionally lends itself to easier placement. Just food for thought.

Just food for thought. Wouldn’t work with their current mounts as the input shaft is too long like Ashikabi said.

for what a custom adapter, flywheel/clutch assembly, etc would cost to mate the fa20 transmission to the k block, you could buy one of the multiple k to s2000 trans adapter kits already out there and a used s2000 trans. the time it would take to develop that whole setup, test, revise, test again, etc would not be worth it for the number of sales you could count on one hand.
