Default CX motor into a 94 Si hatch?? Bad or good??

I want to get a 92-95 CX very badly. I also need a car for work. My plan i've came up w/ is to get a CX, take my ITR swap out of my car, put the CX motor in my car, and use it as the daily driver. So basically I plan on swapping both motors into the other chassis. Do you think it'd be a bad idea since my car is so heavy (2400lbs) to drive on the CX motor for daily driving? Or do you think itd be ok?
Thanks.

You'll live. It'll be very slow, but you'll be okay.

I don't see a problem with doing it.

why not just toss the CX out the door, and at least pic up a DX swap? They're no more than $250 odd and you'd get a stronger engine with a somewhat better tranny.

If you need a good daily driver motor...get a VX full swap...I think dwnthehatch still has his (not sure tho)...51 MPG highway...more HP than CX
