More than anything I'm wondering what they did to get the engine to sit that low.
It's not the first time it's been done, and I may have been involved in a few projects, but the engine is particularly tall, and didn't fit well in the engine bay. |

Does the F20C normally sit at the angle?

This is a "I did it because I can" type swap. Still believe this car should've came with some sort of inline engine...

FRS with a vvt-I engine from their line-up. I would test drive it.

How so? It might be stiffer, but the S2000 offers better weight distribution (49/51 vs. 53/47) and double-wishbones. Not that I have anything against struts, I don't, but double-wishbones do have the advantage of not requiring as much static camber. Weight distribution isn't a big deal at stock power levels, but with additional power, more rearward c.g. becomes more of an advantage.
I'm not a fan of the AP1's rear toe change with bump, but that can be addressed... Quote:

This is the swap forum, so I won't bother to address all the issues you raised in that post, thought it pains me not to do so.
But the hoodline / headspace question you raised is valid, and here is the answer. The twins have the thick, tall front crossmember basically straight on the axle line, and steering rack immediately behind it. Any engine in there must sit atop those 2 pieces. In the s2k, the steering rack, and the main body of the crossmember are in front of the motor. That enables the engine to sit much lower.
