i know a gy in MO that is making a 96 rwd civic. it has a 454 mounted in tha back of it. its a hatch and the entire rear has been stripped out. he is mounting it back there...as for the setup he is using man i dunno...i know it is all custom. i could call him if this sounds interesting to you. he is rear mounting it for traction over the rear tires. i thought it was a good idea...kinda?
