frankenstein Honda engine theory i had...

This idea would be based around the vtec-e d15z1 or y5 head/fuel injection setup. But my basic idea is to use one of these setups on either a 1.2 or 1.3 liter d series block. Or....if the heads are uncompatible...to use the crank from of these motors. Im sure something has to be cross compatible...anyone know for sure? Next, would have to prob have a custom cam ground, with less overlap and less duration to get a little more torque and take advantage of the atkinson cycle a little bit, along with extensive dyno tuning and a hondata or other style ecu. I know all this would cost more than any fuel ever saved, but it sure would be neat to see! any input? or similar frankenstein setups for the cause of fuel economy?
