M-technik-3 wrote Nothing wrong with a built M10 in a light chassis they are quite fun. Have no photos's of mine. Had a rusty 73 and a 76 slushbox for a winter bomber.
Many have done the S14 route and these days you'd be eating ramen as a permanent diet to install one. Days of buying an S14 for a few thousand are long gone and most core engines are up there as well. Wished I still had my spare 2.5L s14 that I had bought back in 07, but alas I bought a second E30 M3 and installed it and sold it a few years later. S2000 engine I imagine are not getting cheaper either being Honda did not make them long and being all their other 2.0L engines are transverse YUCK! Maybe at some point add a modern turbo kit with proper fueling and a 5 SPD vs the 4. As John mentioned 2002FAQ is a great site.
Yes, you are correct. Both of those engines are not cheap, especially the s14.
My 02 actually has a 5 speed swapped in it already. But the drivetrains out of the e30 m3 or s2000 is just a future wish list at the moment.
