the reason i say yes and no is.....because to be honest i can't remember if water jakets are the same in the series 1 and 2 inlet manifold,if they are, all good and well,if they aren't,change of heads required.but by doing this it won't be a series 2 ......

You have to change the heads as well, then it is all good.

Or drill/cut breather holes in the side of the heads

yeah, they'res extra cooling lines through the head and inlet manifold,

is it really worth it??? i mean if u have to change the heads... id just go with the s1 rather than slapping a s1.5 together much easier
and plus s1 has no belmouth

lol its not exactly hard to remove a plastic bellmouth anyway....

The gregory's manual says the intake manifold on the S2 isnt compatible with earlier model, but as been said im pretty sure it'd be ok if you used the S2 heads as well
