Default Substitute 3800 for 3.8

I have a 1980 Buick 3.8 in my 35 Ford. I want to put in a 3800 fuel injected engine. I have been told that I need a 3800 from a rwd like a Camaro. Would the motor mounts be in the same location on the blocks and how hard would it be to hook up the fuel injection. Should I just use a four barrel like I have now? Thanks

why would the 3800 from a RWD be different then the one from a FWD? i know that the one in the lesabre is transversally mounted, while the one in a camaro is straight mounted. this might make some differences. and for the EFI wouldn't you need to upgrade the ECU or, get one
