i know that most sohc's throttle body points upward while the dohc's open horizontally.

Just the piping size difference between SOHC & DOHC products. I believe you need LS/typeR AEM to mate to your b16 TB.

So the dohc intake tubes are larger than the sohc ones? I mean theyre pretty much the same size as far as installing goes but if the pipe is larger, more airflow, more hp right?

Cosworth, whats up, near ellsworth here. You ever get any work done at the honda dealership off 49?

you can fit a sohc intake on a dohc motor depending on the direction the TB points.
this is done by squeezing the rubber over the TB (that didnt sound too good ).

anyways, although it can be done.. why do it? putting a smaller intake on a bigger TB defeats the whole purpose of a bigger TB. thats like getting a header with a 2.5" collector and putting a 1" cat and b-pipe on it.
