well, i can only speculate as my experience is pre-86 so unless there's some difference that i'm unaware of like port timing between the two, i don't see why u can't.

It changes timing slightly between the series. If your going for high hp #'s, i would keep the series the same

Mr. Stefan13bh is right, the spark holes separation are different. And it will change timing.

The spark plug position does NOT change timing. TDC is TDC is TDC. If that were so then S4 CAS wouldn't work in S5. That's not the case because the timing is the same. It will change the dynamic forces though. Im not sure if I'd recommend it but I would be comfortable mixing housings.

I agree with Iduley that if it's a high HP application I wouldn't take any chances but if you're just wanting a car that won't be pushed too hard then I wouldn't worry.
