There's not a massive difference weight wise in an eg or Ek coupe, both are a fair bit lighter than an ep3.

It's a very expensive conversion to do right though your best bet is finding someone breaking a converted car or else look into a h2b conversion, it's a much cheaper option than a k20

I know the k20 was slightly lighter than the b16 and b18 engines so it should work or ok. Icetronix do these conversions all the time so you could give them a shout.
