b16 -> b18c5 swap?

Whats up guys,
I have a 98 civic coupe with a B16a in it and just bought a JDM ITR motor. I'm planning on building the motor first before I put it in but I'm just wondering if it will drop right in with no mods since I already have a b16 in right know. Am I right?

Thanks (in advance)
