You can do that, but you wont see the peformance gain that the dual plug cars had. The held will bolt up just fine though. You may want to check the timing belt pullys though, You motor likely has Square tooth pulleys while the dual plug head will have round tooth. You will want to swap your cam pully onto the new head before swapping.

I cannot imagine why you would want to do that, considering what a poor performer the DP head is air-flow wise. And you won't even be reaping what gains can be had from the DP igntion. ?

The intake manifolds have different bolt patterns, also.

the DP intake manifold will not clear the distributer.
