Answer
    Honda has an interesting philosophy when it comes to engine mount design.  You can put almost any four-cylinder Honda engine in any other four-cylinder Honda.  It takes a little work, but is nowhere near as difficult as performing the same trick with other Japanese or even American four-cylinder cars.  So, want to stick that big mother into a mid-eighties Civic?  Go ahead, nobody's going to stop you (add a turbo for spice and you'll have to buy new tires every couple of months).
