Re: (Jonathan_ED3)
This swap may seem a little out there, but what about a Triumph GT6 engine? It doesn't look much bigger than the stock motor.

Re: Official vintage Honda S-car engine swap discussion thread.
first post made me chuckle
it's a squeeze but it fits. the transmission tunnel on these cars are huge. the gearbox is modified to use the original gearlever hole. the original steering rack is used and in the original position.
and this is what it'll look like with the bonnet shut
i sold the original engine to keep another S800 on the road. a lot more S800's are being found in garages etc. there is a chap making fibreglass panels for the S800 on the British S800 forum as panels are near impossible to get hold of.
also my S800 was not as good as it looked in the pictures. it should look great when finished and not look like a hot rod.
link if your really interested

Re: Official vintage Honda S-car engine swap discussion thread. (smithenhiven)
I personally know Richard & his Corolla engined car. He purchased it in that form. BUT the changes were made such that it could easily be converted back to original drive train. If it was ever converted back to original, not many would know the very slight modifications done to accept the Toyota drive train. Also, the reason he quit out of S has nothing to do with the premise / subject matter of this post.
G'Day Aussie AS285... be interested if you have any history on the Corolla engined S800, we have just bought one in Cairns with this conversion !
Cheers... IAN
