If I remember correctly your 4wd civic drivetrain is very similar to the fwd version. So it would be possible to do as you intend. But there seams to be a demand for those models.
If I were you I would try to sell the 4wd and pick up one of the thousands of discarded fwd drivetrains from a racer's engine swap. Kids all over the world are yanking out good economical engines in favor of high output engines. You might even make a profit you could use toward the tube frame you really want.
just an idea. either way good luck.
