PLEASE DO! haha, i wish i could do that, but damn u'd have a lot of work to do and a lot of extra $$$ to play with. U got my vote all the way though, that'd be something special.
nah not 10K for a K24 (stock) swap.. K24's arent as valuable as K20's.. **edit: I am assuming you would perform the work yourself - if you're farming it out to a workshop then I have no idea how much this would cost** it's fairly easy swap with Hasport(etc) mounts and wiring kits etc but i dont know if you will be able to close the hood with the 2.4L block in there.. and will need to be fully certified by an engineer for registration for road use.

Bonnet won't close with a K24 on any EF/ED without a lot of work, and a facelift JDM front style bonnet (EF8 etc.) is the only OEM bonnet that will clear a K20 in a CR-X and even that needs the bonnet skeleton to be cut away and bigger intake manifolds still won't fit, not too sure about the civics.
i been looking into swap can be done but will cost you heaps and lose a few thing eg. A/c system and no hydro power steer, something you will live with if it track car but likely become a car you can't live with day to day as daily
I have costed up for me so far is around $15-17k for K20a DC5R ITR swap at guess with alot of parts and extra work i do at the same time
i got quote to put into ED9 crx by honda performance shop for same money but less goodies and hopeful as good job as i could do it as mechanic myself
have look at information on K20a.org, research, research and research
A K24 swap will be cheaper with alot more work need engineer for registration for road use
Best talk to a engineer ask question after you look on K20a.org with some good information you found , pictures and what people have done to improve the brakes, suspension and chassis etc
Good luck all i say as parting words it hard to do k swap conpair to putting a B18c DC2R ITR swap into ED Civic/CRX that will cost a extra $5-10k wih extra 50kw unopen engine on tuned on Hondate KPro ECU on board
If you see a good Technical post giving advice give some postive rep
