No.
All balance shaft housings are machined with the block.
Yes you can physically do it, but you risk problems like bearing tolerances, housing leaks, etc...

Mumzer, yes it will fit but you will not have a bolt hole for the pivot that the tensioner arm rides on. The stud screws into the end housing and there is no provision on the earlier housing. By tensioner arm I am referring to the cam belt.
