Of course this swap would be possible- and very easy. K20A, K20C. Same as B18A, B18C. Same series. And there are plenty of people shelling out cash for a 40 hp gain- B18B-> B18C. 140-180 hp. However, that's for potential. A B18C has a lot more potential than a B18B, just because of VTEC. With both K20s already VTEC equipped, I don't know how much more potential the K20C has, or even where that 40 hp comes from (I haven't done much reading on the K series, yet).

How is buying a car off the lot thinking outside the box? Not sure I undertand that one.
