The RSX motor rotates in an opposite direction from "traditional" honda motors, so an engine swap isn't going to be an easy job.

No kidding. I'm just waiting for the day when some lamer "more money than brains" kid drops an RSX-S engine/tranny into a Civic and finds out he has 6 reverse gears and 1 forward gear.
