Will an S5 engine work in a Gen 1?

I have looked and looked for information about swaping out my trashed 12a, it was allowed to freeze and rust for 15 years in someones back yard, with a 13b. What I need to know is which 13b engines will be a direct swap for mine. It is NA and totally stock. I found a S5 on e-bay , and was wondering if it would work in my car without any modifications, or at least no major ones?
Thanks,

Short answer is YES.

Look in the archive section for a How-To.
