Well, I suppose a 13B with snail is the sensible answer. Not sure I fancy a wallet-lightening excursion into triple-rotor lunacy. ;D

Ah but just imagine how much fun an NA triple rotor would be.. and what's one more set of apex seals to replace between friends? ;D

I can't see why you'd take the Honda engine and fit it to an MX5? It's not like the S2000 is exactly big or heavy.

However, fitting a 5.0l small block Ford to one is probably a better bet - a reliable cheap 350ish HP with torque too is much more interesting.

MX5 has the better handling, S2000 the better engine, IMHO, so I can see it. ;)

Might be a bit much power for an MX 5 and certainly too much weight. I think the S2000 power plant is quite a nice idea, actually. Hmm. There's a used car dealer that specialises in S2000s about 300 yds from me. Anyone got an engine hoist? ;D

I reckon the engine is from a write off so is a good idea.

How about a Wankel MX5?
