Default 4.7L engine transplant

I saw this engine mod and wanted to know if anyone else had tried it, it should produce enough torque to make the S2000 at least a competent daily driver.

Weird... the battery is in the wrong place, though I suppose they had to move it for the transplant.

Also, the engine compartment seems shorter and wider (but I guess the photo may not be of the entire engine compartment).

haha yeah... we have way more torque than any other 4-banger NA motor.

I don't get why people complain about the "lack" of torque... I've never found it an issue once.

it has plenty of torque for daily driving.. Especially when compared to cars that aren't considered fast. If someone says differently, they are either used to very fast cars, or have fragile ears.
