Perplexing sentences

1. If I had enough money, I would buy a car. (Begin with : Had)

2. If I were a bird, I would fly. (Begin with: were)

3. If he studied hard, he would succeed. (Begin with: were)

4. If he studied hard, he would succeed. (Begin with: Should)

My answers:

1. Had I enough money, I would buy a car.

(Is this a correct sentence? Can 'had' be an alternative to 'if' in the second conditional?

2. Were I a bird, I would fly.

(Is this a fixed rule?)

3. Were he to study hard, he would succeed.

4. Should he study hard, he would succeed.

Is the use of 'should' correct here?
