You could, but, the amount of work, would be astronomical. You would need the entire computer system from the 01, as well as the fuel system, and tranny settup. The major change took place in 2000, when they upgraded the computer systems, to accomodate the OBD 2. The newer computer systems control EVERYTHING. The newer motor will not run without it. I would take the wiring harness from the 01, as well. That will save you a ton of headaches. And, all of the dash, as it is all electronically controlled, and helps monitor all of the engine functions, via the computer. In fact, after 2000, the gas pedal does not even connect to the motor, as previously. The computer controls it. It is called "drive by wire."

Yes it will fit and set right in place with NO problem.
