You may be able to ask a Dealer to look at the Vin# ID for the truck to verify. The older 1999 used 3 valves and then the next year or so the engine changed to 4 valves. This was also when the 1999 body style was carried into 2000 for the Heritage Edition. Can not say if the old style body made as a 2000 Heritage had a different engine. The older models did not have "Cam Phasers" which were problematic on the newer generation engines. Sometimes parts stores have access to Vin# requirements in their parts manuals.

A 4.0 transmission will not hook up to a 3.8, the bellhousing bolt pattern is different. It is possible though, that a machine shop could make an adapter plate to make your combination work.
