LMAO don't pull the "cost effective" shit and then mention a V8 in an S2K.
S2K=not cost effective. Civic=cost effective.
Not to mention there isnt a mount kit for the LSX into an S2000 swap. Hasport makes a mount kit for the J-Series to go into a civic.

like i have said many times im not talking shit on the motor its a solid motor but there are better motors to swap into a prelude or a civic
lots of poeple have done this swap before but it wasnt competitive. the only pro team i can think of using the swap it those guys with that red ef (cant think of the name right now) and by doing the swap they have a bigger motor with more displacement and they are making only about 600whp which puts them almost 250whp behind the top guys in the class. so with 1/3 of the motor the j swap is getting the living shit beat out of it by a " little 4 cylinder". actually come to think of it not its not cause to my knowledge that car hasnt been down the track yet and its been done for a bout 2 years
edit: the teams name is p2r and i just looked it up the car never made it down the track it got parted out and sold
