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

here is the very short video of the first test drive I did however drive it through the neighborhood several times but here is the video as I put her back up. She is a little hard to drive without the seat bolted down

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

Hahaha, wow, that is amazing and strange! My brain couldn't connect the glorious LSX sound to the car in the video

Looking forward to more videos and progress reports!
