Actually. A couple of years ago people were running those pistons in all out all motor d-series race engines. I forgot the name exactly but I think it was something like Jay Yuson had one. The block needs to be sleeved and heavily overbored to the point where head gasket failure is going to be a reoccuring problem. But they actuall will work. The valve throw angle is different in the d-series heads and the valve pockets in the pistons need to be reworked a bit if a big cam is going to be used.

So basically it will work theoretically but it is entirely unpractical to do so.
