Close but not exactly. There may be some mounting bolt bosses missing from an older block. For instance an 89 block does not have the mounting bosses tapped for bolting the coil to the block that the 91 does.
The ignition on the 2000 changed to the coil pack and dropped the distruibuter so there may be some slight changes there too.
Why does your 2000 need a new engine? You shouldn't have that many miles on it.
