Honda motors are designed for efficiency and reliability as a primary focus. So it seems to me that by going with this engine choice, you'd be already starting off on the wrong foot. It doesn't make sense to me. But then, there are people who spend a lot of time and money making FWD drag racers, so maybe this falls under a similar mindset?
I think you can find these relatively cheap whereas I'm not so sure about ls's.
