There is no direct bolt on RWD solution for a Civic. People have chopped the body off a Civic and fitted it onto a Subaru chassis for an AWD beast before. Someone dropped an LS1 into a Civic hatch for RWD awesomeness. Others have heavily modified the Honda S2000 drivetrain for a Civic. But it's very expensive and probably not worth the time.

The only other thing I can think of is the AWD Civic Wagovans from the late 80s. You would have to do a lot of modification to get that to fit, but it has been done before.

I would think finding a RWD chassis & fitting the Civic body to it would be the best way to go.

That would be a good choice in my opinion. Something different. Post up pictures as you go along.
