its not the possibility of it, its the why of it. why chopup a brand new civic to put in a heavy *** 310hp v8 that will need every little part in the drivetrain replaced, remade, reshaped, the whole floor of the car front to back would need to be cut out and rewelded to accept a V8 transmission and driveline, and the whole rear would need cut out to accept a rear axle. then you would have a pretty quick drag car. or, you could trade the coupe in on an Si with a K20, drop a turbo and a few other mods, and have a well-balanced 350hp car that is faster than the bastard rwd v8 one, and still handles like it should.
