2000 is a 2 valve..2004 would be 3 valve unless its a Heritage model ( old body style left over from 03 and sold as a 04) All electronics would have to be changed I would think.
I would think it would be cheaper to buy replacement motor to replace the seized engine.

Do you think you could trade the van for an '04 motor in good shape?
