Default b18c1-b16a? size differences??

im planning on doing a b18c1 swap in my 85 civic. my friend did a b16 swap in his 86 crx (same size engine bay as mine). the b16 barely fit and he had to make a dent in the framerail for alternator clearance. the intake manifold has about a half inch clearance with the firewall. i was wondering if the b18 is possible to even swap because it would seem to be larger than the b16. anyone have a clue? please let me know! thanks

there might be a little difference in the height, but other than that they should be the same
although the gsr mani might be a little larger

The only difference between the 2 is deck height. The 1.8 is slightly taller.

The B18c1 is taller, but its really really a small amount, and the difference at which it is taller is at the bottom not the top, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't stick up any more than a B16
