Starters different between S and base?

When I tried to remove the starter from the broken engine that came in my 2000 S project, to install it in the replacement engine, I was not able to remove it with the intake manifold in place. Strange, I had already changed a starter with the engine in the car a couple of years ago. I removed the intake manifold and got the starter out and compared it with my spare, out of a 2.7, and saw that the S starter is almost an inch longer. In the parts catalog there are 4 part numbers of 1.2KW, 1.7KW and 1.8KW, but it is not clear that one or another is specifically for the S. So, can I use the starter from the 2.7 in my 3.2 engine?
