This may be an option as well http://www.dmrr.net/projectmk2.htm
They can make an adapter plate for some different transmissions.

Yes.. If the Blocks were the same, there would be no need for an adapter plate for the link posted above.
The two engines are very similiar, but different.

wouldnt a flywheel spacer solve the probblem just like an h2b kitafter seeing F20 gearbox & K20 gearbox side by side this summer,i think you can't put a F20 gearbox on a k20 engine because the mainshaft is around 1.5" shorter so you can't engage it on the clutch...
it's my mind
i don't know but the other prob is the mainshaft won't go into his space at the end of the crank too...

The prototype racing kit is for an Elise.
In a FWD the F20C would make for a killer turbo motor for dragracing, that is about it as far as I can tell.
I run a K20A2 with a Toyota Corolla 5 speed RWD transmission in my LowCost 7 autocross car. I used the front half of the DC5 6 speed case, and a 3/8" flat aluminum plate a I machined to match the holes in the DC5 case and the Toyota transmission. It works fine. The car won this years National SCCA SOLO D Modified Championship.

That's pretty nifty, you should post some pictures. You use an old 4age tranny? How does that tranny hold up? What else was fabricated to make that work in that car?
I don't have any seperate pictutres, but when I dismantle the car for the Winter refresh I'll shoot some pictures of the bellhousing/adapter. It quite simple, the stripped front 1/2 of the transmission case, a flat 3/8" plate, and the proper holes drilled in the plate. (I had to make the pilot bearing myself. The Toyota input shaft is smaller than the Honda bearing.)
The first time I built the adapter I welded the parts together and it warped, causing a misalignment of the transmission input shaft, and consequently wearng out the syncro rings and causing the transmission to jumop out of gear. The new, bolted together arrangement has cause ZERO problems. The 4AGE transmission are pretty rugged. Of course the car weighs only 1850 with driver, in E trim, and only 1440, in D Mod trim.
Motor is 12.5:1, IPS K2, KPRO, Mahle pistons, Scat rods,header by Del, dry sump, 9500RPM redline. Rear end is 7.95:1. We leave the start line in 4th gear and don't shift.
