so this kid requests me on facebook, we get talking, he tells me he has a almost complete k24 block and head, minus the cams lifters and rocker arms, and valve cover, not sure if the rods are there, most likely not..... but he told me he would sell me what he has for 150 bucks, but he's also unsure if it runs, guys think i should go for it? ive been wanting to do a k24 swap in the cb for a long time...

For $150, I would have to look at the block in person. If I were you I would physically verify everything before you purchase anything from someone you don't know. Specially someone who doesn't even know the condition of the parts they are trying to sell. -
I agree with ghost. As nice as it would be to have a k24 cb. 150 is a real cheap price. Too cheap

@ "unsure if it runs"... Without those missing parts, it doesn't run!
Chances are, he bought it for the same reason you're considering it... it was probably someone's abandoned project that he picked up cheap, and now he's abandoning it too.
$150 is a decent price if what you get isn't damaged in any way. Getting the other parts will cost a bit, but it'll still end up being a fairly cheap K24, and you'll basically be rebuilding it, so it'll be damn near new.
HOWEVER, getting it into the CB and running properly isn't cheap. Even with a $150 K24, the final swap is going to cost you a good deal more than an H22 swap in the end. If you're looking for a bargain, the K24 swap is the wrong place to look! If you're looking for a K24, and you plan on doing the swap anyway... then I'd seriously consider this deal... go look at it, at least. Hell, even if it's beat, MOST things can be repaired.

k24a2? a3? a4? an k24a2 is the high dollor block... the rest need piston swaps to slap a type s head on them... k24a2 is a tsx motor.K20z3

not really sure what the code on the engine is, i thought about doing the frank motor, k24 bottom end with the type s head, idk how worthy it would be in the end, maybe a del sol swap, i still wanna build my f though, im so undecisive..Comment

If I had to guess I'd say it's a k24a4 which is common. Finding one complete for a little bit more is not difficult so if I were you I would pass. If you can get it cheaper strip the motor and sell the block alone. They are worth more stripped. Lol
I just went through a similar situation and just sold my extra k24 block.
