It would be a bad idea, it would hurt performance.

Depends, whats the application? NA or FI?

If for NA application - no.
If for FI application - yes.

Some things to keep in mind though...the different generations of 3S engines the cams are not interchangeable. IE. 2nd gen 3s cams are not backwards compatible with 1st gen 3S heads and visa versa.
However cams are interchangable within the 3S heads of the same generation.

Remember the GE cams have a longer duration and higher lift cause they lack the turbo for forced induction so they require a more aggressive lobe to get the air in. Swapping GE cams into a GTE head for turbo applications will yeild a hp increase.
Also the 2nd gen GE/GTE head is the better head cause there are more aftermarket companies that make cams for this head.
