You can do it via Wrye Bash, Oblivion Face Exchange Lite, or ElderFaceLift, but I don't think you will get good result(but maybe not so bad) due to difference of base head meshes(Imperial uses stock human head mesh while Treetop Smoker's race uses Ren's head mesh) and racial Facegen slider values.

Is it possible to use the face from this custom race

on an Imperial (or any other race)?

 

The good news is that copying faces between some of the standard races--for example, Imperial to Breton--is easy. The bad news is that copying faces between other standard races--say, Imperial to Wood Elves--is much more difficult, because of major differences between them. Much of the latter applies to custom races, as well. It takes a fair amount of work in my experience in the editor to get anything halfway decent in the result, and there have been several times when the thing simply gave me an error and closed after trying to save.

[sorry, i am new to this game, but is there any discernible difference between the races besides appearance and beginning attributes? if that is the case i guess i wont mind using th custom human race by Treetop Smoker.

 

All races receive different bonuses. Some get spells (usually castable once a day), or infravision, or some other ability. Some races also receive bonuses to skills, as well as attributes. Note also that there's a slight positive NPC attitude adjustment to player characters of the same race, and at least a few of the races have both positive and negative attitude adjustments. Dark Elves, for example, don't like Wood Elves. It's a -10 on all NPC reaction checks.
