Default b16 to b18 conversion

Hey I was throwing around the idea of dropping in a 1.8 crank into my b16a1 block and getting the forged rods and pistons for the 1.8, that should just drop right in to my b16 block right. worst case the only other thing i might have to change is the main caps girdle from the 1.8, give me some feedback out there....anyone else out there done this recently...pro..cons...
let me hear it..
Thanks
Laters...

B16A block is phsically shorter than B18C1/5, so if you just swap the internals and the crank, your pistons will be out of the hole. NOT a straight swap in and out.
