Well like the saying is...anything is possible if you have money.

Is it worth it??? Don’t think so b/c it will cost a fortune just to have 240HP, but then again you will have that bling factor.

Just cuz its RWD doesnt mean it cant be done. It cant be plug and play, but you could very technically convert everything to work with it. Would I do it?? The answer is no, because for that price, i put in an H22 and turbo that GREATLY!

Hey if you have the drivetrain from an S2000, why not convert an Integra to RWD? Be original! This is about all that's left!! But imagine putting a different engine in the S2000! Not to say that the F20 is not a fantastic engine but I think the RWD platform is much more flexible. I would love to see a LS1 S2000.

Too late, RWD Integra has already been done.

And an LS1 in an S2000, I'm not sure the engine would physically fit between the shock towers and under the hood. You might end up having to go tube frame, at which point it becomes less and less an S2000 and more just a custom vehicle.

Plus an LS1 has to weigh at least 250 lbs more than an F20C, so your S2000 would weigh about the same as a Corvette anyway, but with more of a front weight bias probably.
