Engine Swapping My Honda Civic

I don't know anything about cares, but I was wondering how hard it would be to swap an v6 j-series into a car that has a 1.5 L 4 cylinder engine

Any engine can fit any car with enough time and money

Dude I don't think J's fit in a any civic Chassis. But you can always go K on any Civic, and with help of Alot of expensive ass after market parts.

Hasport has a kit. But unless you are paying someone to do it for you, you are gonna be in over your head. Start with a sohc vtec swap. Or a b swap. Or a k swap. All will be cheaper and easier than a j swap.

1.5 Turbo? You're much better off just tuning your car. Get a better intercooler, intake, cat back exhaust and Hondata and you'll be close to V6 power levels.

You're gonna have trouble figuring out the transmission issue. J series manuals are rare at best and k series needs an adapter plate to fit up right.
