Default I thought of something the other day....

Okay, the engine in the 4cyl accord is an F-series, correct? An f22b to be exact. The engine in the s2k is also an F-series; an F20c. So since they're both F-series, would either block not bolt up to either transmission? I mean, I'm sure the F-series transmission doesn't have the greatest gears, but wouldn't it be possible to get an f20c long block, bolt it to an f22b transmission, and put it in a civic, effectively making a fwd f20c swap? I mean, Honda's pretty good at making their engines of the same series play nice. I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there. But depending on how much I make when I graduate and how much disposable income I have, I very well may try this

I wonder how balanced that car would be laterally with the engine now offset, and whether the weight of the driver would be enough to make up for it?

It woulde be no different than a K swap as the K series sits the same way in a EG/EK. That is cool to see done. Where is the radiator and it sucks that the vtec logo is reversed now. I have also wondered this about the F20c and F22c.

Wow, I forgot about this thread lol... I didn't realize anyone actually replied to it lol

anyway, as far as transmission, my bet is either a k20, h22, or f22 transmission. The only reason I included the k20 is how the engine sits to the side... I still think an f22/h22 transmission is probably the best choice though.

And intense, the rad is behind the fans... it's under that cross-member
