Has there ever been a V8 powered S?

alexf20c has one (in fact he probably has two, but he's being modest).

There's a guy in the mid west that put I believe a 5.0 in an S2000.

No credibility?

Yup! The boy who cried wolf, shouted "fire" in a crowded theater, and was the richest kid in Texas who couldn't afford a digicam.

I'm sure it can/has been done. I drove an fd3s rx7 not too long ago with an ls6(number might be wrong, newest version of vette engine) in it. Quite the beast, I would imagine an s2000 with a similar setup would be just as insane. However I would like to see maybe.. I dunno a viper engine crammed in there somehow. See how much oversteer you get then

Saw a V8 in an old 280Z last weekend. Really made me do a double-take. What is the motor upgrade of choice for the S2000? Seems to me that FI on the OEM motor gives more than enough HP to make engine upgrade pointless.

The 5.0 Mustang engine swap never came to fruition.
