4th Gen 3sgte head on a 95 5sfe block. Options

Firstly, I know I'm gonna feel stupid after asking this but I've looked around all sorts of sites the past few days looking for any information and everything I could find was people arguing over the differences in the 3s &the 5s or people talk about the 1-3 gen heads.

So my friend (who is on this site and is building a sick ass car right now ) has a 4th Gen 3S-GTE head that he wants to sell. I want to make a hybrid with my 5S-FE engine in my car now. Before you say do a complete 3S-GTE swap, I don't want to. The 5S-FE, I believe, has a way better block. I've looked at a lot of different sites and read a ton of hybrid swaps for the 3rd Gen head but I have no idea if that stuff applies with a different generation head. So since I haven't been able to find out anything about the 4th Gen head onto a 5S period is it even possible?

If it is I have a 95 Celica GT. I read on Toyota Nation that in 94 they updated the 5S causing it to no longer be a "bolt on" affair with the 3S (in this case it was a 3rd Gen) head due to missing water jackets. I'm assuming with a 4th Gen head this would still apply?

Are their any differences at all between putting a 3rd Gen and 4th Gen head onto the 5S block?

Thanks for your time.

so that 4rth gen head would b out of a caldina 3sgte? with the coil packs? i think theres a guy in texas shop called engine logics if i remeber correctly. when we did my brother's 3sgte stroker he helped us out with the metal head gasket. he might have that info if that head bolt pattern is the same. but imo if its a 3s series it should be same bolt pattern. that would a good upgrade if your able to use the coil on plug set up.
