Exact matches would be, of course, the 1999-2001 LPT motors.
That said, I'd be surprised if you couldn't make any of the 2.3 turbo motors work in your car. You might have to swap bits here and there, and keep the Trionic bits from your car on the new motor, but that's about all.
If you dropped in an Aero motor, you'd still only get LPT horsepower from it, maybe even less (I forget if the compression changes in the Aeros or not...), unless you also married up the Aero Trionic bits to your car. And that may or may not be an easy thing to do.
