S4 engine into an S5 shell

Hey guys I recently picked up an S5 shell (with tranny and blown engine) and I have an S4 NA short block sitting in my garage. Would the S4 NA block bolt into the S5 shell? I know this may be a step backwards but I don't wanna lose money trying to sell the block and I'd rather just put the thing in the shell and have it run for a couple of years.

By the way, all I did was type in "s5 intake on an S4" in Google and this link came up.
Keep in mind that the S5 electronics are very different from S4, and that the S5 uses an electronic oil metering pump vs the mechanical one on the S4.
