the b16 thing was a joke obviously, either way you look at it stock for stock the h will prevail and yes the swap has some stuff that some people wouldn't want to do to complete the swap. after it's all said and done the engine is incredibly close to the hood which requires you to relocate the map sensor in some cases and clearancing the framerail for the crank pulley or grinding the crank pulley down. you also have to remove some of the fittings in the intake manifold or turn them because they are close to the firewall and the grinding of the block. just small stuff some people don't want to go through the trouble of doing.

the pro's weigh out the con's ofcourse but some people aren't willing to go through the trouble if they plan on building the engine when th b series is equally capable of making around the same power
map sensor you can relocate, or use a TB where its not on top.

of course the crank pulley is gonna sit close to the frame because you added a adapter plate and the transmission doesn't move and stay in the same spot. you can pull the balance shaft gears from the rear and front and you would still have clearence and wouldn't have to massage the frame. different case for EF, DA though.

you do not have to add a fitting or turn them at all, thats only if you use the Euro-R maniifold. there is plenty of clearance between the intake manifold and firewall.

if each motor are equally build, H2B will still prevail.
