Classic Mini - VTEC K20C1 Engine Swap Question

not sure what your specific question is ....
people have been putting the VTEC in classic Mini for a LONG time ... you can buy kits which are essentially a new front subframe. You bolt in the VTEC and bolt the assembly to the car. Hook up some wires and DONE. (Obviously there is a bit more BUT ... there ARE kits and the hard fabrication is done already)
if you are asking as to whether this specific VTEC motor fits, I can't answer that.

You do have to cut the chassis, but as far as engine swaps go, this one still seem relatively straightforward. They offer a longer fiberglass nose to fit the K. Hard to tell the difference.
I'm not sure I'd bother with a K over a B unless I intended to spend another $3-5k to make it AWD. I've ridden in such an example, and it was wicked.
Download their installation manual for the nitty gritty.
