I've thought about doing it, problems I foresee: looks like the passenger side subframe in the engine bay would need to be notched for the motor, big time. T56 should take care of the gear box but the rear end doesn't hold much power, it would need to be upgraded to a Silvia IRS, which is a bigger project than the motor install IMO.

After learning all of that I'm more about the LS Solstice or Sky. 2JZ would be easier in an S2000, it's been done a few times before.

Really? I could have sworn the LS3 was a 6 liter.

if you are looking to make power out of an s2k and keep the install somewhat easy just do an inlinepro build. they do a 2.5 liter stroker kit with a turbo putting out an easy 700 plus whp and they are running very low nines with absolutely no problems. The s2k motor is a very strong 4 cylinder motor. Just has the 4 banger sound to it.

That's awesome. How much hp will the stock tranny and rearend hold?

Not that much. That would be cool though, how much $?!

the build itself complet will cost you about 20 grand in motor and tranny (getrag 6speed) then swap the rear end with a sylvia rear end. no more problems.

The stock tranny is a good tranny but i blew my rear diff to peices when i was stock. stripped all the teeth off my pinion gear and about six off the ring gear. Now i am running a 4.77 gear though.

Holy crap 4.77 gears

The stock gearing is 4.10's, right? What's the 6th gear ratio on an S2000 tranny? On the freeway you must be humming right along
