Go to Youtube, and type in K Series, K Swap... Try searching this sight in the upper right corner and search google... When your done come back and if you still have a question which anyone that is worthy of a Kswap won't have that question..........

in all fairness, i admit i shouldve read some of these k20 swap-story threads before
i posted anything lmao but ive learned my lesson, and did my research of course.
ive been glued to my computer non stop learning every bit of a k-swap and i gotta admit
it's a good idea and im ready for all the challenges to come. ive confirmed the deal. ill be posting the
developments soon. thnx for the help uccracing!
