As the saying goes, "Anything is possible". However, your description of the engine makes me wonder. The only engine designated as T4 for the UK S40 is the diesel. The petrol engines are T2, T3 and T5. If you are looking at a diesel that would be a more complex job but still achievable.

And it has a different gearbox and fuel control unit. I haven't dug any deeper but would suspect that other parts will be different.
