hey 9krpm I've got an S2 shifter for you.
In fact there are 3 units I've just ot to do one more operation on the mill.
I've a list of guys that want them but we'll see who pays up first.
Giving you the first heads up.

Because for some reason my rap@axialflow is not working.

ugh the vague answer I was expecting 
The swap part for me is easy. 20b all the way. I think it's the purists in me taking over. For some reason I see you going with a honda motor... K24 bottom end with a k20 head on a BW turbo.

I too would love a 20B, but the rareness of items combined with the reliability issues that may arise scares me.
An F22C is something I am considering. A buddy of my dads (mechanical engineer who has worked in a few areas of automotive and aerospace design) has an F22C swap in his old British Roadster and does insane work on everything from cars to sail boats, so I have been talking with him about it all and he has a few cool ideas in terms of fabrication. And the F22C is a great engine but after some research, a k24 Turbo swap seems like it would probably be the better choice so I don't have to run an expensive dry sump setup (although part of me likes the idea,
). I like the Honda option of course just because I have so much experience with swapping them and boosting them.
No matter which route I take, it will be expensive and won't make much sense financially but for me it is more about the challenge of doing it, an learning more fabrication skills in the process. But I need to hit the local Honda salvage yard do some actual measuring myself, I am going off of what I have found online.

I have been on the dyno, the numbers were about what you would expect for 4-5psi and falling at redline so I did not get to see optimal numbers on that day, but a new wastegate actuator and HKS EVC-S has solved that problem since then. The next numbers posted will be in a video of 1/4 mile times, I just need to crack 12's with the renny without gutting it and then I will be happy and can move on. I will let it run it's course though and give it one more rebuild because any swap will require a lot saving if I decide to take that route.
But since I am waiting on Hoss to get his Adaptronic sorted, I might as well try E85, if he is going to Dallas to get tuned then I might as well tag along and see what Steve can do with E85 on my car. If anything, a little bit more safety would be nice. I can hit 10psi now, but it makes me very nervous, even with solid AFR's.

But that will be more expensive in the long run and kind of a hassle.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxNb_sgYuJE#t=223
