Unfortunately , there's more to the swap than just seeing if the manifold will fit your earlier model engine ? The electronic fuel injection is controlled by a computer which gets many various inputs from numerous sensors . For the engine to run properly , all these sensors ( along with all associated wiring ) would have to be in place and working properly . Also , many of the later model EFI engines feature distributor-less ignitions and your older model engine may ( or may not ) be so equipped ? So that issue would have to be addressed as well . There are numerous aftermarket EFI set-ups that come as kits with all needed parts and all you have to do is have a bung(s) for the O2 sensor(s) welded into place on the exhaust . Edelbrock is one of the more well known companies selling these kits but there are others as well . Go to www.summitracing.com or www.jegs.com and check these kits out . Good luck !
