Is a k-series motor a smart engine swap for a crx?

Depends on the application...
Street wise, at the point and time, no... Theres plenty of other swaps, that can net you same amount of HP, and would be cheaper and much easier to install, and be more reliable for street use...
For a strictly drag car, well, I guess its the same as above... But that dosnt stop people from doing it... Id say do it, if u have the cash and this is the intended app... Now that the K is out, and its Honda new 'go-to' engine, the aftermarket support on all the other engines will start to dwindle out eventually...

rofl i find this situation very amusing
:edit:
the k isnt the right swap for a crx.
if you are looking for power go with a b18 or b16 turbo
i personally havent seen many b16 turbo's and think it would be a nice project
