It will not work if you have emissions requirements where you are at. A 93 will never pass the emissions check for anything OBDII compliant, especially not a 2000. You also have the COP versus distributor issue which is hard to conquer. There are various sensors that changed over the years. I have been told the head off a COP engine will not work on an older block, but have never tried it myself, but I know the blocks did not remain the same, they changed oil passages and whatnot over the years.

well there are no emmisions testing here. but im pretty sure the sensors would be a giant pain.

You need to get engines from the same general /generational years then you wont have those kid of problems..like for a 2000 xj get a motor from a 99+. (some 98s have different random stuff, like injector pugs and such)
