umm adapting a connecting rod probably isnt the best idea. it will most likely kill what little tensile strength a B18(?) rod might have. on top of that, for the price of having a machine shop 'adapt' that rod for you, you could most likely purchase a high strength forged or billet component.

these 'honda swap' fads are really getting out of hand.

I just can't see the benefit of modifying b series rods for a d series motor. They aren't that much stronger, plus I'm sure they weight more and balancing them would be a pain in the ass. Just do it right and buy aftermarket rods... I think it will save you money in the long run.

There is no feasable reason to try this adaptation in my opinion. As far as I know, the rods are different length anyway. There is no machining process that will help you with that. You can pick up a set of Eagle rods for $300.
