I bet it might depend on your experience with the extra hassle, but I can totally see why you'd never be able to go back

One of my friends told me that if you jump out of an airplane and flap your arms up and down you can fly just like a bird

Yes, it will own your soul, anyone who cant switch back is weak minded, but I could see why you'd definately feel a difference when comparing a D series motor with an H series, lol

How about a K series? I think that would be tough, but hey anything is possible.

Why go back, the H series engines are so much more powerful and quick compared to the B series, the only liable reason for a down grade would be for putting a T3/T4 turbo which would better run with a B series motor than an H series motor

i think the "wont be able to" comes from the shifter modifications nessessary. alot of how-to's tell u to cut the oem shifter location up.
