B16b (CTR) to a 1.8L... is it as easy as i think?

I havent found anyone that has done this or knows for sure so Im hoping someone can help.
I believe a CTR block is the same exact hieght as a ITR block, just the CTR is D-stroke to a 1.6. Is this correct, can anyone confirm it for sure?
So if that is correct, i should be able to swap a ITR crank and rods in to the B16b making it a 1.8L... right?
If you have any information on doing this please let me know...

thanks
Josh

Yes, crank and rods will be all you need for that 0.2L of displacement. I think the CTR pistons will work with those rods as well. Just wondering why you're switching to the B18 internals when (I think) a 2.0L stroker kit will work on the B16B. Just curious.
