Crazy swap, but i don't know if i'd want one. Imho japanese cars don't mix with v8s : (, just 4 and 6 bangers with turbos. Thats what makes them fun. If i wanted a car with more than 6 cylinders it would be a ferrari, or a carrera GT, but lets be realistic though, all the cars that i want ATM are non V8 : )

Theres the 911, the old E46 M3 or maybe the new one( but thats a V8), NSX
TTs, 370z, G37, Cayman S. So who needs a V8?

then why look at this thread. every one has their own opinion but i think a v8 s2000 will be FUN. and if you wanted a car with a V8 it sounds like you never will be able to afford it ( Ferarri, Proche GT) .....HATER go back to Ontario you French Lick

wow, it sounds awesome!

even if you dont market the swap - you could market the DIY material!

Congrats - i know its a great feeling the first time you take out a seriously modified car. I had a similar sense of accomplishment when I finished putting an Integra Type R motor into my 1990 civic. Its awesome having a car that is VASTLY different from stock

Looking forward to more videos and progress reports!
