Anyone ever considered a hartley v8? or ever heard of them?
Not sure if they'd put out the torque required to be practical for a car, even one as light as an s2k.
But basically, its two hayabusa 1000 [edit 1.4L] motors mated together into one v8. Weighs less than 200lbs, dry sump, and puts out 430hp out the box. capable of upwards of 500hp. No doubt it would fit, with plenty of room to spare
heres a few pics
edit: i guess the reason its never been done, is because it costs almost as much as the car @ $30k. but if you happened to have two 'busa motors laying around, you could get the mating kit for 12k

There is/was no Hayabusa 1000.
1st gen Hayabusu = 1300cc, 2nd gen 1340
So two of em is 2.6 or 2.7 liters, significantly more torque than a 2.0 or 2.2 liter S2k engine, and also bigger than F1 2.4 liter V8 (so not a "mini" F1 engine).
I'll take three of 'em

Or you could get a LS9 with 630hp for 22k.

size comparison to a 2.0L ford zetec motor
and if you ever wondered what strapping 430hp to a racecar that weighs about 1200lbs would be like, check out daniel polotovs DP1 build @ dpcars.net
