Anything is possible with money. However, you are probably talking thousands of hours of fabrication and tens of thousands of dollars.

There was a Fit overseas (Thailand I believe?) that swapped a B series motor in it. Tried searching for a picture but came up empty, if someone can find it I'll edit this post, but like Funkster said... anything is possible, just gotta pay to play

This is actually a little more feasible and would be a cool swap.

At least there's parts for B series.

InB4 "yeah but just swap a K series for the $"

EDIT: Booyakasha

Its been done in a civic.

EK Civic + 13B Rotary + Huge Turbo = the new Civette? haha - Honda-Tech

as long as you can fabricate and machine your own parts it doesnt sound that difficult.

That is what I had wanted to do at some point was a B18 swap. Decided to give it up shortly after the inception of the idea. Only because for the time and money invested I would rather build a dedicated track car.

the probable with doing a B-swap, and ven a Rotary is that some states have laws about swapping a engine from a older car to a newer car.
