Not always easy to mount a transverse engine in place of a longitudinal one. Is there a tranny that would mate up easy with a K swap in that orientation?A simpler swap would be to do a Honda KA like what the new Atom has. The ecotec isn't a bad engine but its not great by any means.
Sure it is the ecotec engine is that in the slingshot is only available in front wheel drive transverse in GM cars. Swap in a K series use a adapter plate for the stock tranny or buy a adapter plate and run the Honda S2000 tranny.Not always easy to mount a transverse engine in place of a longitudinal one.

Not true, the Ecotec in the SS is the exact same engine and trans from the Sky/Solstice. You may be right about it being easy to make an adapter plate for the K series, but why go to all the trouble? There are plenty of Ecotecs running around in the world with 400-600 hp.Sure it is the ecotec engine is that in the slingshot is only available in front wheel drive transverse in GM cars.

The 2.4 might not be ideal, but you could swap in the 2.0T from the Sky redline / Solstice GXP. Should be way easier as far as wiring and everything else goes. But I guess where there's a will there's a way, and people can choose to do whatever makes them happy. ;-)
If they would have made them little coupes to begin with they would have been the BRZ before there was a BRZ...Ahhh thats right! forgot about those cars kinda like the rest of the world. lol
Good point forgot it has electric power steering!The only issue I see with doing a K24 swap is controlling the electronic power steering that is controlled by the GM ECU.
