No. 87 is distributed and 2000 have coil packs. If your hand you can make holders for the coil packs but only the short block is capable from 87

pretty sure his 00 probably has an 00 computer in it.

The renix block has one less motor mount, has a distributor, and the head design was different. Not going to be an ideal donor for your 00

Guess I should have been more specific that the sensors from the 87 won't work with the 00 computer.
