i think that the ex block is made to be a little stronger, being that it is essentially a vtec motor and the dx is not.

I'm not sure but I've HEARD that dx rods are smaller than ex rods. Don't hold me to that though.

I highly doubt they're the same, but I am unsure. Go here: http://pub34.ezboard.com/bhondadseries
