You do not want to mix non turbo blocks with high pressure turbo. The 2.3L is a high pressure turbo, the 2.4L is NA.

You can swap the block, but keep the head. The old head will need to be reground. It is the head that has changed for vacuum lines and electrical connections. The 2000 has coil over plugs and an ETM which your car will not support, along with variable valve timing...
