I would bet it is a little bigger, being a 2.0 or 2.4 L block and a 6 speed manual transmission (I assume you'd want). But they fit. All you need is engine and transmission mounts and companies like Hasport sell them for the exact purpose you are daydreaming about. This is a known thing. Got $10k to spend? In a few months, with some significant labor, you might have a working k-swapped 5th gen Civic in your driveway.

Here is one of the legends of Honda racing mods trying to do it for just $3k (four years ago):

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
