A true baller would just buy a Z06.

The Z06 is too heavy. I prefer the S.

Also I don't see that F22C and K20 head article on Honda Tuning, got a link?

So you've bought the [short]block from Honda before? Ever had any issues with it? For $2750 shipped + $50 for the head gasket, it's hard to beat.

I have bought several over the years. At least 4 in the past 8-9 years. I have two S2000s.

... Several because you track them all and spend all day at 9k, or because they're shitty motors?

1. Drove into high water, hydro locked the motor. Fault=Mine, Car=Street
2. Installed prototype turbo kit, not properly tuned. Fault=Mine, Car=Street
3. Installed new block in a car that was salvaged without one. Car=Track
4. Upgraded oiling system, installed check valve wrong. Motor lost months after. Fault=Mine, Car Track

You get the idea, all of these issue could have been avoided had I done one thing or the other. Live and learn.

Awesome, glad I picked up 9 years of experience in a matter of reading a 30 second post then. Thanks for the quick responses, I think I'll pull the trigger on it.

You might want to call and see if they will ship it. I doubt they will, from what I know only HardTopGuy will ship them. I bought mine locally, directly from a dealer.

Majestic honda lists an engine. They will not ship it.
