Everything I've seen shows that a K24 frankenstein will make wayyyyy more power than a F2X can.

I bought my S2000 with a blown motor, the retainer broke and dropped two valves in piston number 1 it score up the cylinder wall...
Yeah I looked into doing a F24 but I thought about cost. I had a block with score block I would have to sent it in & have it sleeves, get aftermarket pistons because i cant run prelude pistons and if I am sleeving the block I dont wana run H22 rods and have to notch the bottom of some brand new sleeves so I would have to get Inline pro rods. By time time I get the bottom end done it would of ran into the $2000 + just for the bottom end.If I got a used block it would of still cost me $500 plus machine work for honing it and machining the crank, rods, etc. and I was looking at another $500+ to get my head rebuilt with out cams. I've looked at all the options available before doing this swap. but I decided to do this swap because I see more benefit in the long run. lol

Did you make all of your own mounts and adapters or did you buy a kit to mount the motor and tranny?
