Yup,

get the tranny, ecu, and rear end as well. We'll just chop some metal here, weld some there, custom fabricate a new suspension setup in rear, rig up a new tubular front end, and

REAR WHEEL DRIVE CVCC2000.

Now while were at it, we could do a S2000 front end conversion and make a S2000 hatch :huh: or sedan ... Sick!!

yah it can be done, but ur gonna have to get custom mounts made, gonna have to reroute the rear differential to the back by customizing the underbody, gonna have to get a custom gas tank to get it out of the way, then ur looking at alot of work creating the rear wheel drive axles with assembly to fit the back end, will need really nice suspension system in order to handle all the weight on the nose of ur car and the new rear suspension, not to mention pretty much everything that comes out of the s2000, bigger fuel pump, custom air intake, etc. new custom exhaust. plus a ton of stuff i dont feel like naming cuz my head hurts, but id only suggest diong this if ur planning on making a show car, not a daily driver or even a drag car, ur better off just getting a strong block and turbocharging the sh!t out of it, and u'll save urself many thousands of dollars.

this guy built a crx with a crv+awd+turbo setup so nethign can be done

If you can put a small block chevy in a vw bug then yes you can make that work. Just takes lots of time and even more money.

Yes. Prototype Motorsports is making a bellhousing which will allow an F20C (S2000) engine to be connected to a K series transmission. There are already companies who will mount a K series in an EK Civic, all you'd have to do is worry about soace and the driver's side engine mount.
