As far as skill level goes,im having a buddies shop do the work. My time frame , i'm deployed in afghanistan for the next 8 months so i've got time. My budget, i would like to keep it under 6k, there is room to stretch it but i feel like 6k should do it. I dont have pics here with me they're on a flash drive back home and yes the winch of the trailer trashed my oil pan. What i want out of it would be a little bit faster (nothin crazy) s2000 with more torque that turns a few heads at the occasional drag strip trip. It still needs to be a daily driven car.
IMO, this would be by far your best bang for buck, and your most realistic option.

I personally just finished a K24 swap and absolutely love it. The mid range is amazing and the engine fits in well. It's also not an overly complicated swap to do with many companies offering mounts and solutions to almost all of the obstacles the swap presents. It can certainly be done for about 6k as I was in that range but I did all of the work myself. The added cost of labor may make any of those swaps listed come out of your budget range. I'm hoping to post up a full build thread in the next few weeks once I have everything all buttoned up. I'll post a link if I remember to.
