At the very least you'll need custom rods and/or pistons to do it, as the combination you've listed will have the piston about 4mm proud of the block at TDC if I've done the maths correctly.
(or roughly translated, mashed into the head a few degrees before TDC and with enough compression it would run on diesel if the pistons did clear the head :p )
I dare say though that if you really want to go down the big-capacity 4-pot route then would starting with a 2.2 EW engine not be a better starting point?
There are a few large CC XU builds over on 205GTiDrivers that might be worth searching out - the largest I can think of is a 2.3 litre S16 engine that from memory is based on 88mm pistons and an offset ground 96mm crank with undersized bearing shells.... "Black_Mi16" is the username. There's numerous 2.1 builds, although most of them are 87x88 (2091cc) or 88x88 (2140cc) and the larger 92 and 96mm cranks aren't often used, I assume because of rod-angle or piston-speed related issues.
