Without extensive modifications, you cannot put a 3.8 in that car. The cradle, engine/trans mounts, ECM, underhood wiring harness, transaxle, etc... would all have to be changed. A complete running 91 Regal GS (the only first gen W-body that was offered with the 3.8) would be required to make the swap. My best suggestion to you would be to get rid of that car if you don't want another 3.4 DOHC and get something else.
