the 3.8's have the same style of rockers as a stock 5.0. I am not sure if they would bolt up with no problems, but I would bet they could.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

OVERALL DURATION will not be affected.

If you were to measure the durtion @ .050" and .200" you would notice a slight increase in duration at those--and all other intervals--where the valve is actually off the seat. 

Increase in overall duration? NO
Increase in potential air intake/exhaust charge within the same given time range?  Yes.

Big block chevys and the 460 rockers will interchange, and so will the guide plates.
