That's what my motor is (bought it this way, didn't build it myself). I'm using a b18c1 timing belt no problem. A pro is not needing to get a GSR specific intake manifold. The combo does drop your compression ratio a bit though. You'll have to search to find out more as I don't know the numbers off hand.
