only thing that needs removing iirc is the gearbox mount on the chassis. i think to put a k20 in an ef civic the firewall will need a 'tap'

Yeah it had me worried cause I found a k20a2 for $300 and I'm trying to get it before its gone even though its probably trashed but I could probably build it up cheaper then then buying a running one then and building it up

Also with EK chassis i believe the rear mount bracket hits the Steering rack so an EG rack will need to be swapped in.
