In the Honda world, guys are swapping k20/24 engines into chassis that have less powerful engines. I see what you're sayin about the possibilities in the Honda world, but the swaps they are performing are for more powerful engines. They don't buy a civic SI and say oh let me swap a D16y8 engine into my car. That's what this guy was doing, taking a great car with powerful engine and replacing it with a less powerful one.
