you could but you would have swap the throttle body from a series 2 as the series 3 uses a sensor vs using a throttle cable. also the upper and lower intake and heads are different because the fwd have the injectors in the heads where the rwds have them in the lower intake but these too can be swapped. i dont think you can use the supercharged version because of clearancing issues and the naturally aspirated ones are rated from 197 hp to 210hp so it would be lot of work for nothing if you just need a new motor and cant find a rwd 3800 get the fwd series 2 and just swap the heads, and upper and lower intake
