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.

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