You should see my current project. I am currently putting a 460 Ford into a 78 CVCC. Yes, it's being converted to rear drive and will most likely have a full tilt front clip.

It's not the first time I've done something off the wall. Take a look at this RX7 and you'd never know it had a Buick GN engine and trans.

You couls drop a motor out of an 87 integra right in,I don't even think you have to change the mounts.This swap would give you about 26 more horsepower. Depending on how much you have to spend you could put a B16 in it.I know a guy who put one in an 88 integra ,this motor would make your car very fast.
As for the body kit,why don't you just keep it stock looking and put some rims on it,spend the body kit money on good suspension .You may not pick up as many chicks with a sleeper but when it comes to driving the car you'll be alot happier with the right suspension , wheel and tire package and the power to back it up.
