Freaking wow! People are coming up with some CRAZY s2k's now. I think I gotta start modding again. I subscribed to this thread btw. Can't wait to see it done. Make sure to give it some big fat pipes so we can hear that V8 burble.

[Duckman]

Noooooo!!! Damn. Awesome. Just a few words that come to mind. I always wanted to do this. Either that or a Supra to just piss people off. But wow. S2ki being very mature about your approach. I will now be checking into S2ki more and more just to see how this turns out. Hopefully you give a very detailed write up. The motor looks very nice in the bay. Especially between the rails.

Did you have to do any modding to the towers?

For the rear end i had one idea kicking around that i wanted to try whenever i gotten the money to get a s2k. How about the Cobra rear end (or thunderbird same thing). The housing can be ordered new from ford bare for like 600. Also if you where to keep the stock style rear suspension. Dss already has a 5.9 for the cobra and the s2k. Asking them to make some hyrids im sure wouldnt be something to hard. Then you would have a nice wide selection of gear ratios.

moar pix now

[hboy7777]

some updates and pics;

removed the dash yesterday to cut some more material away and postition the engine further back in the engine bay, also relocated the under dash wire harness grommets for the wire tuck so the harness can be routed into the fender area instead of the engine bay










check out how close the engine mounts are to lining up, one simple bracket and you are done. not too sure on how the s2000 mounts would hold up though. im getting rid of the s2000 mounts and using the clamshell mount adapters with fabbed up pillars that should be here tomorrow.





here is what im working with as far as header space. stll going with a custom made 1 3/4 stepped to a 1 7/8 setup unless someone knows of better.


here are some misc. pics of firewall modifications so far, all being redone due to the engine being pushed back further.

Wow, a thread on here without JDM leg humpers??? Where were you guys 6 months ago when I vowed never to come back?? ;)

Really cool swap, can't wait to see the finished product. :thumbup:

I told you it doesn't fit.

Have you ever posted pictures of your "S7000" ? Has anyone ever seen the car in person aside from you?

I haven't seen you post in a while and I know you live(d) in Houston, so I'd definitely like to come see it. I'm close by now, so it'd be no problem.

I just hate to see a butchered car, this one seems to be done with care and mindful of the properties of the s2000. Balance, light and mean. :thumbup:

Very insteresting swap, one that's been bouncing around in my head for a while. I don't have the means, talent, or motivation to put one together, so I'm intrested to see how yours turns out.

I've driven Corvettes before, and I admire the power, but in my opinion they lack the nimble feel of the S2000. If you can retain the responsiveness of the chassis, and put the LS1's power to the ground efficently, it could be the best of both worlds.

My idea was to use an LS2 though, so I could badge the car S6000 on the front fenders. ;)

Good luck, thanks for the pics of the progress so far.

I don't currently have an S2000 in my fleet, but that is soooo cool.

With the Honda's solid stance and that V8, I immediately thought of the Sunbeam Tiger. What I've read so far reminds me of how that car was developed. They did one on the cheap and one properly; with the engine set back to keep the weight distribution in line. Clearly, you're doing yours the proper way.

Finally, after 40 yrs., a true spiritual successor to a great beast.

beautiful

I hope you're planning to make detailed information on the "swap", so some of us can join in the fun.

cheers
