At least you're starting to sound a bit more reasonable. Before you put your money down do you know how the engine got a cracked block? Make sure nothing that is supposed to be on the inside is now on the outside Also you will not be able to use your timing cover because they are different between the NA and the K motor. There is quite a bit of wiring and other components that you'll need (IC pump, inter cooler etc.).

If you have a manual transmission then mating the K motor to the trans isn't a slam dunk either. But with that said we'll have one done before spring so it is possible.

Research, patience and listening to those with far more experience than you will be your best assets my young friend...

Best of luck to you and stay safe...
