of course its possible.

but its not common so completely custom mounts, driveshafts, shift linkages, wiring etc will all have to be made up

yes.. thats correct. hence why i said it in my above post

people retrofit the k series engines in older civics, not the R series

it has to be a solid mount, to mount this one, and most probably it will cost the same with k20 swap in ur car..

labour is just too much, but if you can do it your self! why not!
