I'll admit I don't know squat about the 3.8's other than the early engines popped head gaskets like crazy!!! I personally think an ATI blown 3.8 would be awesome. I see they are claiming up to 350FWHP, and if you get anywhere near that with a V6 that weighs way less than your cobra did, and even lighter than a GT, that would make for one heck of a street machine!!! I bet the thing could go low 13's with traction. The rear is only a 7.5" unit and may require an upgrade to an 8.8 to handle that kind of power, especially if traction is found via slicks and/or drag radials. Fuel upgrade will be needed too, a swap to bigger injectors and fuel pump will be minimums. Other than this, I don't know. Check out some of the various V6 boards for more info.
