I have never seen s2000 engines sell for $5000. Hell a few years back you can buy a 100% new oem f22c short block from honda for about $3400.

There is a good K Swap Facebook Group (god I hate Facebook groups, all of the knowledge will disappear in time)

I think there is more money in a K swap than is immediately apparent and realistically a used F22 is going to come out thousands of dollars cheaper. That said, I would am interested in one when the day comes.
I think your $6k estimate is probably a couple grand low, if you're building something turn-key ironed out up front that will safely see the track.

good condition s2000 engine long blocks can be had for about $3000 all day long. If your f20 blew i would highly suggest swapping a f22c because they do make significantly more hp and tq. You always buy jdm f20c for about $4000 with transmission all day long at JDM engine importers like hmotorsonline. i personally have bought a few f22's on ebay from taeusedautoparts813. with good sucess.

The major deterrent of sticking with the F motors is the fact we cannot rebuild these motors like a K motor. Nonetheless, I was not aware of the $3,000 price range so I will give more thought into just sticking with an F build.

Thanks for this insight. Would you say the F20 F22 motors are becoming rarer by the day?
