I'm not sure, but check out what Warmoth says about using their 'conversion' necks with their bodies, and whether anything needs to be repositioned.

My first thought is no it won't and the bridge may need to be repositioned. My second is that the neck won't fit the neck pocket.
If you can get some detailed measurements of the ibanez neck and the warmoth conversion neck and if they happen to be the same then you should be fine. If there not I assume it will be more trouble and expense than it is worth.

It's a 22 fret neck so I wouldn't think there would be any repositioning to do.

There could be. 22 fret necks often just use an "overhang" for the extra fret. Honestly I'd just look for a Warmoth Showcase neck.

Re: Will this work?
I was hoping to get it off Ebay so I'm not spending $200 for a neck. I don't want a stock looking Strat/Tele neck, that will look stupid on that body. Eh F it, maybe I should walk away from this idea...

Re: Will this work?
Number of frets doesnt effect the scale length. Willing to bet that Ibby wont fit the neck pocket. No Ibby ive ever seen has a standard strat neck pocket but I havent seen all of them so maybe there is one out there but i wouldnt count on it.
This might be one of those times to walk away unless your into pain. I'm talking nipple clamps and ball gags type pain.
