Default Engine swap 1997 accord EX. 2.2L to a 2.3L??

Thanks in advance. I'm looking to replace the engine(2.2 VTEC) in my accord due to a lower engine knock thats gotten worse. I can pick up a '98 2.3L VTEC locally cheaper than a 2.2L(makes no sense to me) My question is will it bolt up ok if I swap over manifolds, electrical and such? They look identical, but I want to make sure it will work before I buy it.

You would either have to a) convert your car to OBDII or b) convert the F23 to OBDI and get it professionally tuned to work.
