Geez, this kind of thread again. IMO I'd always choose the motor with more potential. In Honda's case the b series is always better off than the d-series.

List of reasons:
-Port flow potential
-DISPLACEMENT
-Tune-ability
-Transmissions are much better geared and stronger
-Intermediate shafts that allow for equal length axles (I know how to run int. shafts and equal axles on d-series but the parts are too hard to find.)
-Valve train is much simpler and easier to work on
....... could add more but whats the point.

The only things that I can think of that the d-series has going for it is they are cheap and they have a five cap main girdle. I seriously can't think of anything else. I've seen people try to build all motor d-series stuff and they never get the power that a stock gsr puts out yet the motor is stressed to hell.

building a d series in a coupe? just swap it.

Last time I checked, Integra axles weren't that hard to find.

-Valve train is much simpler and easier to work on
I'm definately going to have to disagree with that.

-Tune-ability
Only difference here is the cam tuning. If you pick the right cam to begin with overlap shouldn't be a problem.

-DISPLACEMENT
I guess that explains the surplus of B16s.

-Transmissions are much better geared and stronger
With the exception of stock LSD trannies the B Series are no stronger than the 96-00 D trannies. They may be geared better, but that's nothing a 4.7 or 4.9 FD couldn't take care of.

I've seen people try to build all motor d-series stuff and they never get the power that a stock gsr puts out yet the motor is stressed to hell.
I guess Bisimoto doesn't count. He's the only guy I know who's really tried to do an N/A SOHC and he was unofficially the first Honda to run a 9 all-motor.
