The pistons look to be the same, but you'd need the intake, exhaust manifolds (they are different for some reason) and all the sensors and the PCM (different tune - could get a custom one though).
Yeah, I think it's doable. But a huge amount of work.
Some people have modified their '99 and gotten more than a stock 2000-2004. I don't think it's quite the same torque curve, but you get the idea.

Well, I am in the market again and looking at the swap option. I have noticed a slight lowering of the coolant level in the last 2000 miles and I can smell coolant in the exhaust on a cold startup. If i have a cracked head or a bad gasket I do not want to put the doggy heads back on. At 146K miles It is time for a timing chain so I might as well pull both heads and the intake and upgrade if I can.
