Thoughts on a K24A4 swap? (lemmy.world)

I know KPowerIndustries has a K24A2 kit - I found a really cheap k24a4 junkyard engine for $200, 170k miles on it.

I want to keep it in my garage and take it apart and mess around several times as I've never worked with cars too much. It comes with a rebuild kit previous owner had gotten to busy to finish. I plan to either sell it or junk it since its mostly to learn - I'll probably look for a more popular 2.5 swap.

But hypothetically, if I wanted to swap a K24A4 odyssey engine, could I do it? I know the compression ratio is lower so might need some forced induction to go with it

I found a video series on YouTube of a guy doing the swap but it needs a LOT of custom work (channel name is "The Art Of....")

I'm wondering if I should just get a busted MZR 2.0 or Duratec 2.5 and play with that instead of an engine that doesn't really have a swap kit (KPowerIndustries kit is only NA/NB unfortunately)
