1999/2004 3.0 liter opti powerheads

[naz14]

Does anyone know if a 1999 200hp 3.0 liter Optimax power head can be seamlessly replaced with a 2004 3.0 liter optimax powerhead? Will the accessories on the 1999 Opti, such as the compressor, the fuel vapor separator, the fuel injectors, etc., bolt on to a 2004 3.0 liter Opti powerhead, or are the different year engine blocks set up differently for their respective accessories?

They are set up different. 98 is all to itself as is 99 and 2000. 2001-02 will interchange with each other ,2003-06 will swap with each other

Thanks for the input. I knew that the different years were set up different with new updates and and accessories ie; air compressor, fuel rails, fuel pumps, igectors,etc. but I was hoping the bare powerheads were the same and would allow the assembly of the earlier model accessories.
