If the '00 engine is low mileage, and everything checks out good, just swap in the whole motor. Although you do get a little more compression w/ the headswap onto your '98 if you still have your stock pistons. Either way, you'll have an extra block w/ internals laying around.
I also would swap the blower in too like. You gotta love the power of the juice, so how about having 85% of that power WHENEVER YOU WANT!!!
I plan a 99+ engine and tranny swap into my Tbird next summer.
