Physically the engine will bolt up, but the wiring harness isnt close to the same. Plus the differences in the front covers and the counter weights between the s4 and s5.

Yes, you can. Check out the tech section of www.rotaryresurrection.com for details. Basically, you will need to bolt everything (even the front cover) from your s5 onto the s4 block.
