As long as you don't try to put it in the S2000 sideways like the NSX, it's just like fitting any other engine.

I wondered if you'd get away with using the S2's gearbox and use some kind of custom bell house.
If I had an ally welder I can't imagine it'd be the hardest task on the planet.
I'd sooner attempt it than try tight rope walk across an alligator put, I can guarantee that!

The clutch was apparently the weak spot in the J-conversions that HPD built.

Of course, they've not detailed the solution, in case they do want/are allowed to sell them.

I measured the shock tower to shock tower on the s2k and the far point to far point on a NSX motor and the motor is 1 inch wider. I was at a Honda school and they had a display motor there. The only v6 would be a sohc the dohc won't fit

My thoughts exactly!
