If you do plan to turbo the engine later, I'd say go for the black top if you're intent on having a 20V. If you're not, go 4A-GZE, assuming you can find someone competant to do the swap. The MAP sensor will work so much better than the AFM will when running a forced induction setup.

As far as cost, my total price for my entire swap, including labor, new stage one clutch kit and aftermarket lightweight flywheel, tons of replacement parts, the engine, tranny, ECU, belts, oil, filters, lines, etc. was around $3,000.

As far as engine bay modification, the stock mounts should work fine. My front mount was a bit damaged and would've required modification, so my mechanic just fabricated a solid motor mount for the front. It's so awesome because the engine hardly moves at all now. You'll have to mount an external power steering fluid reservoir somewhere in your engine bay. Mine is on the passenger-side of the engine bay, close to the power steering pump. You'll have to use a longer throttle accelerator cable, because the stock one won't even come close to being long enough.

If you've got more questions, just reply, and I'll do my best to help out.
