you would need custom mounts and a jdm b16 auto transmission. I think you might be able to find the whole swap including mounts/axles/ecu/engine harness on one of the jdm motor sale sites(like hmotors, passwordjdm, etc.). If you dont see one on their lists of swaps then call them and ask them to get one for you. Im sure theyll be able to help you out.

Get ready for wiring love. Easier on wiring to do the LS or auto GSR, but you need the correct ecu/tcm setup.
