yes you can
you will need to use all the 2000 intake and header parts
and all the brackets and sensors from the 2000 motor

you might have to just use the parts you need, but they might not work as the 2000 should be a ho

The 00 intake is a much more free-er flowing design than the 91. It shouldn't hurt much, to fix it if your concerned you could port match the intake since it's already removed.
