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,
Darrell Button

Short answer is YES.

Look in the archive section for a How-To.
