#1. why would you want to?
#2. Doubt that is your car.
#3. Just buy a s2k. For the money involved in the swap you'd pretty much be buying a nice ap1, maybe a ap2 for a few bones more.

Do a search in the forums for "F20C" and "EG" and you'll find a couple of threads showing the same pics and vids, and one writeup that I translated from the original web site this info came from.

In short, you'll be buying lots of S2000 and Nissan Silvia parts, and doing a lot of fabrication. I hope you have the skill and deep pockets.

FYI you can get an adapter plate to mate either a f20c of f22b to a K series tranny.....
and it would be FWD.........just a thought.

The beauty of the above swap is that that EG4 isn't hindered by the weak rear differential that S2000s are known for. I bet that car is a scream to drive.

V8s are more common in Miatas, but there are plenty of F20C Miatas too. Do a quick search on google and you'll find a lot of them.

damn you're hatch is legit! Honestly, I wouldn't do it in the hatch. It's a lot of money and honestly probably not worth it. If you already have a miata I'd say that is the much more logical choice.

However, as stated above if you are set of doing the swap into your hatch it is possible and it has been done.... With a lot of labor and a lot of hours... It's really up to you, how good you are with a welder, how deep your pockets are, and how good you are with a welder. lol

Good luck either way! Would certainly be a fun project in both cars. Making a fwd hatch into a rwd just isn't my cup of tea and certainly doesn't seem worth the fabrication trouble.
