i dont think it would just because it was designed for rwd it might be too long. the mounting surface is probally the same though.

hahaha, yes its possible...

S2000 is the F series motor I believe... HASport "H" series mounts also work with the F series motors ~ so in THEORY it could work~ but you will have a nice fun time making the "tunnel" for the RWD not to mention all the fun after that... if you want RWD buy a used S2000 or just buy a car thats originally RWD ~ hey the OLD Civic BOX "wagons" had AWD.... hehehe! Dual turbos and a bunch of boost and you could be burning out from all 4 wheels... hahahaah!

baahaha...well..u could...but the F series engines turn totally opposite direction compared to our b series..h series etc engines //therefore..yes u could fit a F20C...but for ur car...u would be having 1 gear going forward and 5 gear reverse...which would be pretty cool..

so uhh..as u can see...everything will have top be going opposite just to fit this engine onto ur civic..so uhh..unless u want to waste the amount $$$ to make ur civic one of a kind..u might as well just get a S2000..:smoker2:

it could be done, and itd be cool as hell. wouldnt be too hard to bouild the driveshaft tunnel if u were any good at using aluminum, thats how i plan on building the tunnel in my honda 600 (ill have a rwd civic heh heh). id pay $10 just to look at it if somebody did it though, thatd be just plain neat. is the s2k's rear axle wider than the civics? if so youd need either narrower axles or a widebody (personally id go with the widebody then when people tell u youre stupid for widening your rear fenders on a fwd car say "watch this dumbass" and start spinnin em)

it's rumored that someone in Atlanta has it done in his civic. **RUMORED** i won't believe it until i see it. seems kinda of pointless to me. for the amount of money it would cost to do that...why not just buy an S2000?

ya, I can smash that rumor, it was not true, months before that he claimed to have a 1,000hp s2000 which was funny becuase my friend lost his rear differntial using a 50 shot on an s2k. The fact is that no one besides Honda produces a rear differental for the car, so this kid is really smart or dumb, plus when someone offered to race him....and he said for 3 grand, the guy said ok and he has not been seen since, I think he is a sack of bs. Also keep in mind that motor is not that impressive outside of the s2000.....and the motor is quite expensive.
