Has anyone ever tried a HX engine swapped into a four-door civic?

Wiki lists one weight for all models, which I know probably isn't correct, but I imagine they weigh in within a few hundred pounds of one another, and that shouldn't be a detrimental factor.

Reason I ask is I do like the HX mileage but I also like the idea of having four doors. I'd love to see results of a swap, especially if they knew the MPG before the swap in the HX chassis, and after, in the four door chassis.

I don't plan on doing this, I just want an HX, but I am curious!
