K20 isnt exactly cheap...but its an awesome engine out of the box! Even the ancilliaries are pricey :crap:

Dont think a k20 will fit between the 5 chassis legs also they cost some coin them lumps compared to a B or a D.

Oh and to point out, you WONT be able to compete in any race series as they dont allow a different manufactures engine to the chassis.. :)
