Can a 3.8L SFI or 4.1L work in a 78 Regal?

(Also posted in B4Black) I have a 78 Buick Regal with a 79 3.8L (Turbo is out till I find a new engine) me and my uncle rebuilt it in 2000 and its getting to be a pain in the A! The oil pressure is terrible ever since we built it and no leaks, the #1 lifter knocks and its all ways hot, so I want to start fresh. I want to know if its possible get a 3.8L SFI or a 4.1L fuel injection in it and what kinda changes do I need to make. Please help ASAP if you know!

the newer engine bolts right in, and it's just a matter of wiring it up and upgrading the fuel system for efi.
of copurse, it won't be a weekend project, but it's doable if you stick to it and don't give up.

Thanks. I just wasn't shore that it would bolt right in. Finding the engine, wiring and fuel pump is the easy part. But finding the throttle body is the hard part, ill have to check out some junk yards.
