I mention (in a round about way) that i like to see a period engine in a car and you post this.
The Honda engine is run of the mill, regardless of spec. They're mass produced and from what you've said readily available. This in my opinion makes it so.
the S2000 engine is far from run of the mill because of the spec, not regardless of it. you obviously don't understand the meaning of the phrase and are confusing it with something that means mass produced when in fact it is pretty exotic and a masterpiece of engineering.
