Default Anyone ever hybrized one of these?

Whilst I am aware these cars aren't available in US, it never hurts to find out if anyone has done it before somewhere else...
We are attempting to put a jdm b18c with y21 lsd box, into the beast you see below...
Whilst it already has a d13 motor which we are used to dealing with in jdm Civic MX's in previous swaps, its clearance issues that we are more concerned about.

This car is destined to exist as a sleeper (more due to the lack of aftermarket parts for this car than anything else). Obviously have the madly offset bonnet to deal with excessive deck height would probably ruin that sleeper image.

If anyone has any experience with these beasts, in terms of previous swaps, it would be much appreciated. We'd rather not have this car on stands for months trying to sort out issues....







The other problem is, it lacks independent rear suspension... dang...

I always wanted to put a b series in one of these monsters.

I bet I could buy one of these (running and in decnt shape) for 200bucks.
I think honda makes a few micro cars. The today(pictured), city, and logo(duh).

EDIT:I just found a site with all of the specs for the today http://www.luk-korbmacher.de/Autos/today.htm

A Honda Beat would also be a cool car to drop a b series motor into...
Too bad they look like ***
