How about a 2JZ swap into an S2000.

Hi everyone. First time posting but not exactly new here...

Anyways, I think a hayabusa engine in a Smart car would be a blast.
YouTube - Smart diablo GP 2007

But something I would actually like to do one day would be a gt35 powered H6 in an STi.

Big red, that is nuts! But why is the engine in the passenger area? Are you telling me the hayabusa has a bigger engine than a smart car?!

I had one actually. A 72' 4 door with a red top SR motor.

I think one of the coolest swaps out there is a Rotary into an old aircooled vw bug. The lack of torque doesnt make a difference when the chassis only weighs 1700 lbs. I was about to do the swap but I am selling my bug instead.
