About my Ep3
The engine is completely stock with 53k

How much would i have to spend on a k24 swap:
Whats a good price for a k24 motor?
Prices on other necessary items?
How much could i sell my motor for?
About how much is the labor for a swap?
Any problems with swapping your motor? Would you recommend it?

Also I've heard you don't need the whole engine... What are the necessary parts without having left overs

Welcome to the site. There are a lot of how-to's and threads on this subject.
This (http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?43331-EP3-swap-sticky-links) would be one of the ones that people will direct you to to read up on this subject. Specifically the thread labeled "k24 swap info".
Have fun, and feel free to post questions in that thread. :mbiggrin:

I think the most you could get for our long block a3 is maybe 3. If that. K24a1 drops in like a glove. Please replace the mounts with aftermarket. Hasort or avid. Also get kpro. Its the ecu being chipped.(must) k24a2 is where its at but more $$$$$$. Plus you'll need to do a lot more to make it work. Nothig to extreme but if you don't got dough then k24a1 is better suited.
