...honda civic ek? hatch is that even possible because that would just be a beast???? can some one tell me

that motor won't fit in the engine bay of a civic

Can't fit the Engine bay. Because: 1. Eingine too Big for the engine bay2. Engine configuration will not work in a FWD layout.3. Remember toyota Supra is a Rear Wheel Drive.

No, that's just stupid

Great idea, but I don't think it will work. And it's not neccessarily because the engine just won't fit in the bay, because everyone said that about the LS1 and LS& swaps into the RX7, but there's a bunch out there.You would have to end up relocating just about everything under the hood to the rear of the car, and have custom fabricated motor mounts.Even if you were to accomplish that... how would you get the power to the front wheels? You wouldn't be able to.You would have to find a way to power the rear wheels which would mean scrapping your entire chassis, and if you did that you wouldn't have a civic anymore.But dude, if by some miracle you can make it happen, let me know! It would be the ultimate sleeper.

Anything is possible if you have the time, $, and knowledge to do it. Expect to pay a lot of $ to have someone cut and weld up your car; when it would be a lot cheaper to just buy a Supra. You'll also not be allowed to take it to a drag strip track, and race it legitimately (maybe on a special track day if you're lucky). Stick with realistic Honda & Acura engine swaps. With all the $ and weight you'll be saving (that engine & transmission weighs at least 2 times as much as a H/A engine); you could build a much faster engine. Stick with the B-series, H-series, or K-series.
