If your "buddy" can't do his own research, he really shouldn't be doing any kind of swap...

lol @ trying to be unique.

Why do you need to swap anything? People are already pushing 400+ hp with turbos or superchargers, for a lot cheaper than a swap would cost. Sure, you could drop in a 2JZ and do a custom turbo setup with 1000 hp, but why?

This might be the best thing I read all week

Simple question can be simply answered.

So far the list is 2JZ and LSx.

I did see something the other day about one shop building a track brz and going f20 or f22 out of an s2000. Interesting choice to swap to.

All my friends think I'm a bit crazy and redundant to want to swap in a 13B-MSP Renesis. It's highly unlikely that it will happen, but I can dream.

Fixed that for you. Do the math. Four rotor is twice as good as two rotor.

If you need us to give you ideas on a "unique" engine swap, you're already failing. The farthest you will get is pulling the stock motor, then you'll realize how much sh*t is involved with doing a motor swap and give up. Quit wasting yours and more importantly our time, do some research on your own, and when YOU come up with a good idea and make it work, feel free to share or don't. But if you can't even figure out a motor to use, I have very little faith you'll actually accomplish anything.

much like your post, am i rite?

Dude a ford 5.0 motor swap would be crazy. But theres nothing wrong with LS or 2Jz. It all depends on how deep is your buddy pockets. no homo. I'm still waiting on an ej25 swap, than again I'm good with my fa20 hopefully I can add a little boost to hit the 300 mark. Goal is 350 - 380 whp, but I'm dreaming [:

It's a reality check...so it did accomplish something. Now what about yours?

I also wasn't trolling. The type of swap wasn't specified when I posted.
