Default Engine swap question

Hey all

I’m sourcing a motor and found a good low mileage engine. Question is,my 8th digit is 3 and the donor motor is a 0. what’s the difference with opt LMG and LC9? Would this be a plug and play swap?
any help please.

According to wikipedia, LMG is a flex fuel engine.
FF engines require an alcohol sensor and a beefier pump.

The LMG is an iron block. LC9 is aluminum
