I think it's a fairly "common" swap for the RX-7. My friend's friend did it and there were a few others around who had it as well. I think if it has wheels and drives, there has been a 2JZor LS1 in it at some point... haha

My bodyshop guy has a Miata with a supercharged 306 motor in it (saw it when I dropped off my car last week). Sick sick sick... it's around 475rwhp, think he said it weighs about 2200 lbs.

Heh... I'll betcha the off-idle torque in that car literally just quadrupled. And I mean literally.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
What is a "306 motor"?

Small block ford v8 306 CID (bored out 302).
Doing a little digging it seems like a fairly popular swap. Here's one (not his) on cardomain with what looks to be a similar setup.

I don't think the S2000's motor could weigh a whole lot less than that. Anyone know? I mean absolute most extreme case scenario I'd have to assume 100 pounds lighter.
OHC motors are generally physically significantly larger per # of cylinders than OHV. The LSx is also an aluminum block motor. Not sure what kind of block the S2000's motor uses.
