[eh?]

If you barely have enough to buy one how are you going to install it? There's a ton of support things you need to buy to do the swap right. Figure about $4500-5000 for a RB25 swap to do it right.
You could go half ass and not replace things and then have your engine destroyed a couple days later. That's happened to more than a few people who didn't replace the timing belt tensioner & idler pulley & stud & bolt.

Swapping in an engine is easy. Getting it running properly is the hard part. And for some reason the RB's are the hardest to get running right.

If you are limited on Money and Mechanic Skillz NO.
RB20 Parts are hard to find, and should have a preventive maint. rebuild done on it since its older than the RB25

Just buy another KA
