Yes,

Just use the intake manifold and injectors from your current engine.

Yes,

nothing needs to change wiring wise? only those 2 things correct?

Yes, just swap over your current upper and lower intakes with injectors to the new 3.0l engine, this will match up wiring for plug and play

Flex fuel and gas only are functions of the engine computer software and injector sizes, actual engine(block/heads) didn't matter

Heads up
I assume it will be a later model 3.0l "new" engine, if older than 1999 then you also need to change the Cam synchronizer, so its a 2 wire model
Also not from any year Taurus or Sable 3.0l, they need different head gaskets
