Default Anyone Done A Motor Swap?

I dont mean a regular motor swap because of a blown engine. Has anyone done something crazy, like dump an NSX motor in an S2000 or drop a Vette motor in the S (that is my dream). I am very interested to see engine bay pics if they did do it. And some 1/4 mile times!!

Somebody some day will put a V8 in one of these things. It's just a matter of time.

No one that I know of, but when they do, it'll be crazy expensive. $$$

It makes sense to swap an engine into a Miata. But an s2k? What will you accomplish?

I havent seen or heard of any S2000s with swaps, but I have seen an AE86 with an F20C...

I think a 2JZ-GTE S2000 would be badass. BPU the supra engine and get ~450 rwhp, you would have an easy 11 sec daily driver.

This would create a car nearly unbreakable with some of the best looks out there. You coul even build the engine and keep the 9000 rpm redline

I love the characteristics of the F20C. It's like a race engine.
I've always wanted to put a Rotary engine in the Miata; I wonder why anyone else (Including Mazda) hasn't. I want an electric motor powered by a generator. Then you have the absolute best powerband.

No one has mentioned anything about the weak rear end??? it would be shot with one launch. The trany isn't especially strong either. You will need lots o cash for a motor swap like that.
