Question can i put a 3800 Intake manifold on my 1989 2.8???

I have a 1988 Toronado With a 3800 in it and i have been wondering.. Is it possible to put the intake manifold from this motor on my 2.8L MPFI engine? I have the ability to rework the TPS to make that mount correctly and EGR... etc What i really need to know is will it fit on my engine correctly? i dont really want to tear into my engine not knowing if i can make it work so if anybody knows... or cares please reply asap Thank You
Dave

Isn't the 2.8 a 60 degree engine while the 3800 a 90 degree?
