Will the K20 bolt up to the S2000 tranny? I would assume so...but you know what they say about assuming...

A while back I heard there was a company that was developing a bell housing that would allow the F20 to be used in the RSX, Civic Si, etc... The car would still be FWD but with 9000 rpm fun. Don't know what happened to that though never heard anything more about it.
What a waste of money. Theres nothing that a stock F20 can do that a blower can't take care of in an RSX for less money and more oomph. I mean you're talking about cost of bell housing, F20 motor, and labor. Total waste. Just slap a blower on there and be done with it. Unlike the F20, the other honda motors practically beg for FI. They dont have as high of a specific output but they are more tolerant of the darkside.

I kinda like the idea of a V-8 under the hood of my Miata!

Doesn't the engine of the S2000 rotate in the opposite direction of other Honda engines. I'm no engineer, but it seems that this would create a problem if you simply tried to bolt another Honda engine to the transmission. Maybe flip the differential upside down?

this has been done. and just like a v8 in an s2000 its a stupid idea. the beauty of the miata and the s2000 is very similar. it's about proper balance of elements. they are fast through the corners. if you want to be fast in a straight line you can pick up a used camaro for as much as a v8 miata swap will cost you. all that extra weight up front ruins this type of car. next thing you know you're revamping the suspension, the drive train, etc etc.... might as well just build your own prototype car and avoid the reverse engineering.
