Hello Automotive forum, I have 2 questions that i want to discuss.

1. I have known the fact that the NSX engine is mounted horizontaly. It has puzzled and put me in a quandry. In the end i came to the conclusion that Honda mounted the engine this way to get the best weight distribution, so the front and rear would be about the same weight. But i don't feel that this is correct. I was wondering if any of you have other ideas.

2. I was also wondering if you could drop different, longitugionally mounted mounted engine into the NSX with no or little chasis modification. Such as may be a Ferrari 360 modena engine or maybe some other V8 or V6.
