I saw some info in a Honda Tuning Magazine awhile back about a company that
makes the custom motor mounts and other pieces needed for such swaps.I
can't remember the name of the company,though.The mag had an article about
the new K-series motors and swappping them into another car.

I think you will find ads for them in some of the import tuner magazines.
They can tell you what fits with what,and what you will need.

I also think the K20 motors are reversed from the earlier B or D-series
motors,so you need a lot of extra stuff for the swap,and you will need a
new ECU and wiring harness. Hondata,IIRC,makes a programmable K20
replacement ECU.

Honda Tuning Magazine has a website online.
