the 99' block will, but youll have to swap your ignition coils over and keep your wiring harness, as well as your fuel rail and injectors.

on a side note....you could pull the crank and have it reground .010 under (costs $100) and throw oversize main/rod bearings, and a new oil pump in, and all for about $200...

different emmisions, different fuel injectors, different intake.
the 99 will swap over easier.

You should use a 2000 head (0331) casting a good one . this will make the swap easier for you to,everthing else will bolt on just throw the dist. away and drop the oil pump drive and cam sensor in there.
