Even online. If I could find one I'd probably go that route.

Looking at engines on eBay, it looks to me like the bolt patterns, ECA1 (Insight) vs. D15 are wildly different. You would have to come up with a custom adapter to make the Insight tranny and D15 engine play nice with each other.
The LDA (HCH1) engine's bolt pattern looks a lot closer, but I'm only looking at eBay pictures - what really is needed here is a measured drawing, and those are pretty hard to come by.
