Can you fit the 1.3L Rotary motor from the Mazda RX8 in a Honda Civic Del Sol?

Yes I mean under the hood not in the car. Seriously though, the Rotary engine has an insane RPM range and is extremely quick in the RX8. Save for the fact the Mazda is RWD, the Del Sol is 500LBS lighter which would allow for slight performance gain. The only problem I can foresee is finding a FWD Transmission that will couple up with the motor. You can make a Del Sol RWD but you butcher the car and make a Frankenstein in the process. I was just curious if it could be done, or if anyone had done it!
 
Could it be done...yes, but it will costs tens of thousands of dollars to do so. The rotary engine is junk anyway. Why would you go through all that effort to put that oil eating, underpowered motor in there?
