It used to be easy to use any old engine as a source of power for anything you could imagine. Nowadays with electronic everything is it still possible? The engine in question happens to be out of a Honda Civic, year unknown for now, but it has fuel injection and I don't know what else. Can the computers be used without the whole car? Will it work without a transmission attached? What all needs to be taken care of? I'm guessing electronics is fuel and ignition, but that might be a lot. I don't know how well it would work to strap a mag or distributor to it and cobble a carburetor into service, but it would be nice to not need to.
