The F20/F22 in the S2000 are certainly nice power wise... but far from budget A K could be as capable/more capable and better priced, even after the work to mate it to something RWD. In an interesting coincidence, S2000 owners are swapping K motors into their cars for more power / even better parts availability.

I'll certainly poke around locostbuilders. Thanks! I've been lurking at LocostUSA.com • Index page for years. ENDLESS fabrication Pron.....

Yes, the aero is usually bad on a 7.... but can be fixed. My first short term goal is getting one of these swaps into an aero friendly 240sx or RX-7.... Then one into either my datsun 1200 or a fabricated locost.
