Cool project, post up progress pics
With the power to compensate for the added weight, I don't think it will be much of a problem cosidering the fact that the S2k had barely any torque with its stock motor. Maybe a set of heavier springs rates up front and the consideration of where the engine sits to retain weight distribution will be key.

Followed the civette build from the begining and will follow this one as well. You actually motivated me to do my own swap and am currently stalled right now but will pick it up soon once I finish moving! Props bro, can't wait for some pics!

Loved the Civette. This thing is going to be insane with TT. I love overkill.

Awesome build. In reference to the gauges and what not, the ls2 gto's where also can bus, although aftermarket gauges would still be easier i would imagine.

i always loved the styling of the honda s2000 but felt the motor was the weak point, now it wont be.

your builds inspire me to build a car of my own maybe a warhawk swap into a honda de sol?

This is pretty cool. So far nothing has been done and it still generates 4 pages of posts.

Must be a lot of interest.

im glad to see someone else is doing this. i have a spare s2000 subframe with the lsx mounts welded up already if you want it. it will work with either the t56 or tko600 transmissions or auto if your going in that direction. mine is all finished but i also ran out of money building the engine. i could always run it on the stock ls1 but what fun would that be. i have a second set of long tubes that work with this setup also. lmk if you need anything
