D series are not good swaps for an Insight because everything is backward in the engine bay - the Insight's ECA is basically a baby L series engine, and was one of Honda's first clockwise rotating engines. Routing wiring and hydraulic lines is considerably more difficult than an L or K swap, and the K engines actually have off-the-shelf mounts available. I imagine an L would provide better fuel economy though, so long as you corrected the gearing.

Clearly, I'm not well versed in Hondas.
I did read that the off the shelf mounts were not very good as they put the oil pan too low, not sure if true to this day, though.
