Good question, I should have said so... I have not done this swap. I swapped a fith gen CX trans onto my 6th gen DX engine. But one of the comments on my transmission specs thread, by Darcane, offered some evidence of the limits and possibilities. He supplied this link as evidence: 2005 EM2 old school d series swap - D-series.org

If it will bolt one way, it will bolt the other way. It's just a matter of some fabrication.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
