u can do anything u want if u have the money & know how
If the motor is the same, make sure the bolt on items will fit and work. Motor mounts, transmission, EFi system, and all others should be a cross over fit. It wouldn't hurt to stop into the specialty parts shop and ask. they have the book that will tell.

What was needed to swap it over to VVT? I installed a VVT engine before I realized it.
Did you ever figure it out. I just bought and vvt ecotec engine and my car is non vvt
