I suppose this question really depends on context. In case you’re not familiar, a K swap means taking a Honda K series engine and putting it into something that didn’t come with a Honda K series engine. It’s become quite popular, not just in the Honda community, but with other makes and models as well.

For me this question came up when I saw a really nice Acura Integra Type R at a Honda Meet I went to recently. Seeing the car, it really didn’t sit right with me. I wondered what you the audience might think about a swap like this.
