Not worth the work is totally subjective. With a decent amount of mechanical aptitude, one could put an H-series into his civic in a weekend, no problem. It doesn't just bolt in with OEM parts like the B might, but the path has been paved and the process has been thoroughly documented countless places. Worth the work to some, maybe not to others.
There are thousands of ways to modify an H-series. Although it's aftermarket support isn't quite as high as the B-series, its higher than just about any non-honda on the planet save the chevy small block.
And you have got to be joking about this 100mph bullplop... An H22A would pull on a b18c from a dead stop to the trap, assuming equal drivers. More power, more torque = a faster car... its totally brainless.
And for those worried about weight distribution (if you could still possibly be worried after my previous posts), simply putting the battery in the trunk would totally offset any F/R weight transfer from the heavier motor/tranny combo.
