Lol what genius wants to do that? Lets spend ten times the amount of money that the car is worth to get a relatively weak engine into a car with comparibly terrible handling!

i can think off the top of my head three billion platforms which would be better suited to throw a KA into the top three would probbaly be a S13 shell, an S14 shell or a S12 200sx. now if you dont mind sharing, tell us the reason why you would want to perform such a swap.

with the right amount of time and money, yes it can be done.
now considering the amount of time and money it will take the question should be, is it worth it? the answer is no.
i once thought that the ultimate swap would be a 300zx engine in the s13. i now know better but someone on carsdomain went for it and posted plenty of pics to show all the mods needed to pull it off.

It would be the 3rd RWD civic ive ever seen. The first was a 87 (IIRC) civic hatch, that had the CA27 2.7L V6 from the 1st gen acura legend. It was mounted in the hatch. The second was a turbo civic, and i forget what motor was used, mabe the s2k motor... but they used audi drivetrain parts and audi subframe pieces. It was *****in though... but kinda riced. If it was just a nice simple color with simple aero with nice rims, it would have been ubersleeper.
