Fully built engine

If my engine blows im getting the 350 hp NA K24

The things I'd do for this. Out of curiosity, any idea how difficult it would be?

Depends on how skilled you are with a saw and a welder

Really? I was thinking he hardest part would be the wiring/tune. I was assuming the engine/trans mounts would be the same since they're both K series, is that not the case?

It was a joke lol. I´m not sure wether the mounts would align or not, but that is the easy part. The car is very wide so I´d assume there is some work to be done on the axles.

Either way should be simple.

Wiring would be near impossible if you want to make everything work like OEM. I would probably make the stock ECU work on the K24 and make some changes to make MPI possible. But this is my area of work so I dont think that would be practical to anyone else lol.

It wouldn't be worth it at all. You would end up needing Motec and custom axles at the very least. YOu want a K24, go get a 9th Gen SI for less than you would spend doing this.

Wouldn't the axles be the same if the transmission isn't changing?

It doesn't mate up. Just because it has a K name doesn't mean it is the same engine design. Transmission will be on your parts list and so will custom axles. Along with engine and aftermarket CPU. Just look up Devin Niemela's YouTube series. He takes an FK8 and puts a K24 in a long with AWD and turbo charges it.

If you're serious about this, your best bet is probably a 4Piston block and the PPR billet head (4 exhaust ports- assuming it comes to market).

K20C transmissions, blocks, and heads are not compatible with K20/24 A/Z, etc. transmissions, blocks, or heads.

This will give you easy compatibility (outside of some custom header work) and allow you to keep the existing ECU, transmission, axles, etc., while giving you the benefit of a high-flow head.
