Interesting ?? now I feel like the real question is; Is it worth going through all that trouble and having to buy motec for a k20 swap? A build si motor will run you around 6k. K20 swap I read it runs you around 7k but if you wanna get past fuel cut you need motec which will be another organ you have to sell to afford it ?
Honestly, best bet is get a c1 crate motor or one with engine harness. Then get the plug n play motec kit for it and a really good tuner. L series are at their limits at the power a stock c1 can take with bolt ons. Either way, the swap will definitely be expensive.

Yeah these cars aren't cheap, especially with DI not being as easy to upgrade as a port injection car.

Good news, I got a response from Alex. I asked him a few other questions and we’ll see if he responds.

Not that I'll ever go this far, but does the K20C4 bolt up the stock Si trans?
You'd want to use type R trans to have lsd.

I’m going down this rabbit hole with my FC3. Currently looking at totaled FK8’s for the transplant so I’ll have everything that I need right there.
Money isn’t an issue, the car is paid for and has almost 100k miles so it really isn’t worth anything as a trade. It’s keep this and get a 11-12 coyote 5.0 or keep this and get a new Bronco as a daily.

Coming back to this thread for the first time in a long time. After heavy consideration I think this is something I want to do and document on yt. I'm now working with someone who has done the swap before and I'm more serious than ever. Does anyone know where I could get custom cv axles near nj?
