There are plenty of people who have already ruined perfectly good civic VX's with engine swaps, so if you really want to go that route you might find exactly what you are looking for.
The difference between a VX and a CX once you pull the engine out for an engine swap is the VX has more wiring for the lean burn and the v-tec, if you are going to go with a 3 stage v-tec you are going to have to hack up the wiring anyway and you are not going to use the lean burn part of the wiring and you are going to pull the engine that the car was designed to use and that people get 50-60mpg with stock.

There are plenty of civics with engine swaps but finding one that is stock is rare.

It almost sounds like you need a motorcycle.
