Yes it would be a "stroker". You would be going from a 90mm stroke to 94.4mm. You would need to run the D17 crank/rods/pistons, or have custom pistons with a 27mm compression height made for you. I was quoted $660 for that. I am using worked over stock EX PLR pistons.
You need to notch the block and crank girdle for rod swing.
You need to run the D17A2 oil pump.
You need to run a B series crank pulley, or have your crank pulley machined to fit the D17 crank snout.
You can run D16 or D17 crank and rod bearings.
If you use a D16A6 or Z6 block you will need to modify a D16Y8 rear main seal holder to fit. Then you will need to run a D16Y7 or Y8 oil pan, and drill a hole for the dipstick in the baffle.

good question, made me wonder... how does this hybrid engine compare to an ls/vtec as far as piston speed?

I prefer D series engines because I drive this car pretty much everywhere, and I like economy with the extra low end torque. This engine only sees a maximum of 7100RPM. At 10.2:1cr and 10psi from a T3 Super 60 I have plenty of power at the lower engine speeds.

My D17Z6 at 7100RPM:
Mean piston speed: ~ 1860fps
LS/V at 7100 RPM:
Mean piston speed: ~ 1750fps
LS/V at 8500 RPM:
Mean piston speed: ~ 2100fps
We have run LS/V builds at 8500+ reliably with no more than just ARP rod bolts on stock PR4 rods.
I am running stock D17 rods with ARP rod bolts and mirror polished beams. I'm getting ready to hit 12,000 miles on this motor.
