No, the only "easy" swap you can do is a k. Everything else is either illegal (emissions) or requires tons of custom fab work, or both

You would need to do some clearance-ing. And aftermarket mounts. Easiest is to buy a wrecked/rotted RSX and then everything is bolt in, subframe, suspension, etc. Just need to remove one engine bay mount from the RSX and spot weld it into the civic engine bay
