i wouldnt waste any time with that, the port timing, size, shape, duration, are all completely different. plus, it would overheat faster then you could imagine.

20 years ago a friend did that, but at that time you could get a new head for the needed cooling, but you would not get anywhere near the power you have in the car specifik engins of the same size.

I guess that the rebuild will be more expensive than a new car engine, unless you have access to a full machine shop, and plenty of time...
