No, they don't have K-series engines. They just have a few optional and standard features that are not offered on the standard model.

Doubt it

But i've been looking into selling my em2 for a 8th gen si.. simply because resale with swap is nearly impossible..but i've heard things about k- series trannies and their 3rd gear.. is it all k's or just our 8th gen counterparts??

I don't think so. I do know that there are a couple over there with K-Swaps (we even have a couple members here with K-Swaps, that are from Thailand). But, every article I've read from Honda does not lead to a K-powered EM or ES anywhere.

There are quite a few different K-series transmissions. Personally, none of them are really any good if you look at their gear ratios. The K20a3 transmission is ok, but it's just a 5-speed.
