in short terms...minorly.... yes...

stroke of b18c1 and b18c5- 87.2mm
compared to
stroke of b18b crank- 89.0mm
difference 1.7mm...lower r/s ratio of

but...
Rule!!!! Any B series rod will fit any B series crank, EXCEPT the B18C's and B16B (CTR) ( etc.... "R" family: ITR, GSR, CTR).
so have fun trying to machine th c5 rods to that crank....

also learn this formula- Block Deck Height = (Stroke/2) + Rod Length + Compression Height + Stock Deck Clearance

Don't bother. Stick with the ITR crank.

Basically it would be an LS/VTEC with oil squirters and the oil passages in the correct locations. You may have to bend the oil squirters since the crank has a longer stroke and may tap them a bit.
