no it won't...you'll need one off mounts, one off custom bellhousing (to keep FWD), one-off wiring one off everything like $20,000 in one-off ****

NO prelude **** will bolt to s2000 **** - lol

just get a k20a/k24a

there is no relation between f20c & f20b....why would you want a f20b you would need a lot of custom **** to get a f20b too

"what about a k20 or k24"

f20b will fit its pretty much having an h22 in an eg. f20b is same as h22 jus has higher compression, more aggressive cams, and a 2.0L

F20C is out of the question. Just trash that idea.


F20B will theoretically work, but why? IMO thats a very unpractical engine, if you want to do a big swap like this why not just go K-series.

i figured blahblahblah was as likely to happen as a f20 engine going into his car.

lets think about the question...and the rational behind it....

Anything can be done if you have enough money.

An F20C wouldn't work unless he had alot of money and a crazy fabricator..but for that money he could just have an S2000.

An F20B WOULD work. I don't see why its not feasible to do this, as stated above its basically the same as an H22. Sure, it would take some fabbing, and a k-series swap would be a more wise way to spend money, but it could be done.

F20B and H22A blocks share the same external dimensions, pretty sure. It's just that the F20 uses iron sleeves and an 85 mm bore. It uses an H22A crank, but its's been offset ground to reduce the stroke to 88 mm.

Pretty sure the heads are the same too, but different IM, and slightly different cam proflie. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Come on. People don't get K's because they're really expensive.

22 posts and nobody has given a legit response.

the f20c spins in a different direction than all the other honda motors. (f20c + h22 tranny = REVERSE!)
However since the k-series spin in the same direction there has been somone that ran an adapter plate on the f20c to run a k20 tranny all with custom mounts.

Yes it is possible. But it's not really feasible.

Another thing. I hate how everyone just throws about "just get a k and call it a day" The swaps are like 8000 dollars. Nobody wants to spend that much on a swap. Why? Because it's a 2000 dollar car with an 8000 dollar drive train. Good luck selling it for what you "invested" It's cheaper to just go turbo ls and you get better numbers in the end.

Yes it is possible. But it's not really feasible. Yes - which is why prototyperacing never made a production run of the bellhousing - they switch to K-series motors for many reasons

I will never sell my car - I will gut the **** out of it & make a track **** before I sell it...you never know a 250whp K could whoop a LS turbo too
