what is taking so long? there were "monster miatas" within a year or two of the introduction of the Miata..... why are there not any Monster S2000's with Ls power?

LS7 in an S2000....

 

'cuz it's just fine as is.

 

A couple have been started but I'm not sure they've been finished.

How many S2000's have you owned Scot?

 

I believe there's 3 people currently trying to make it work (all LS motors). May as well let them figure out everything the hard way for everyone else.

The s2000 is a track car in most peoples eyes and not a 1/4 mile beast. By throwing all of that weight in the front, it messes up the near 50/50 weight distribution. In other words, it isn't as track worthy with the added weight and offsetting the weight distribution. For the money, why not just turbo it to get the same power and not lose as much ability to track it.

 

^ Because some people just have the money to do sweet things like the gentleman in the above posted link. Smoke em if you got em. That project was looking awesome until he fell asleep on us.

 

not sure what an F20C and tranny weighs but in the 3rd Gen RX7 the LS Swaps are about even on weight at the stock rotary engine/tranny swap.....

so it may not throw off all the weight distribution, etc.. like you say....?

 

^ from those pictures the ls1 looks small in the s2k

 

IIRC, the LS1 weighs only ~80lbs more than the F20/22
