Yeah I know that feeling I've got the 3.8 too and its weak. --0-60 in 9.? at best--  I just bought this car 3 months ago, and since it feels like I have less power than I did then. I definitely have plans to drop at least a 302 HO in it.

A nicely built 302 would be the best bang for a beginners buck$$.
I had carbed 302 c-6 3.73 and could keep up with my bros 04 4.6 gt.
and used parts are very abundent. Compared to 3.8 it would feel like it hauls freakn ass.
