K20a2 and k20a3 blocks are very similar, and there won't be any advantage with the k20a3 block.
The k20a2 head is far superior to the k20a3 head.
THe k20a2 block has better crank and rods also, as well as oil squirters.

i figured it couldnt be that easy 
EDIT: are all k series internals interchangeable? what makes the k20a2 head better then the a3? the layout or parts in the valvetrain, cams, etc.?

nope I do not.
not many K's floating around here. I don't know of any utahn's with a K swap in an older generation chassis.
where are you in utah? we are having a small UTHC meeting at the Layton hills mall this saturday at 7:00 in the food court to discuss the new track schedule and figure out a few things about next years annual spring meet.
YOu are more than welcome to be there, we might run to brendens house afterward to install a D series turbo for him and build another d16 transmission so everyone knows how

If i wasnt going to the Blaze game i would show up for sure. I'm located in West Valley City. Yeah i got my EK HB back in August and I NEED to get rid of the auto in it, it makes me cry
. I was looking to put a B16A2 in it but since really thinking aobut it I might as well save up for the K20A2, I just hope my engine (195k) on it doesnt go first. Yeah if you wanna chat or whatever hit me up at pumpkynthegreat@hotmail.com.
