But, beginning in '00, there were substantial changes making the swap both illegal and impractical due to the e-Gas, DME, Exhaust and Fuel System Changes...

It's not a question of if it could be installed... even an identical spec engine is illegal to install in America if it is from a model year prior to the year of the chassis it is being placed in. Granted many things that tuners do to cars are also illegal but this can result in hefty fines, especially if a dealer is caught doing it.
I would be pretty upset to find out I bought a used car with an engine that was 5 years older than the car without my knowledge.
