No you don't have to build with a SBK block....

As I remember
On your engine cases need to push the bearings out and replaced with a sleeve / bush, then machine down to fit the 916 swingarm (The mount on the the 916engine is about 30mm narrower than the S4)

The swingarm is also shorter than the Monster one by aound 50mm, so be aware the short wheelbase will make it very twitchy

Then you either need to cut and modify the frame to move the top shock mount, or cut and move the shock mount on the swingarm.

Then there's the speedo pickup which needs to be moved. You can modify the 916 one

You'll also need to get a new rear disk with 6 spigots on it to trigger the speedo sensor.

Then you need to think about the exhaust system, rearsets...etc etc
