Yes. You'll need to make brackets to secure the coil rail, but that's it as long as you're just swapping block & head. Keep your electronics.

I copied this design when I did my engine swap I kept the valve cover bolts with studs and used it to keep bent pieces of aluminum in place to mount my coil

I believe the exhaust ports on the head from the 2000 and 2001 head were higher than all previous years. What I am saying is, you may run into problems with the exhaust header. Good luck man!
