I hate to say this....but I will anyways:

My advice would be to sell your 94 V6 and purchase either a 89-92 LX Mustang 5.0 or, if the funds permit, a 00/01 GT. The 5.0 will have several bolt-ons available at cheaper prices than the 00 or 01's.

Swapping a 5.0 into a 3.8 is not cost beneficial IMHO.

Good luck with your decision.

ya, swapping an engine is pretty expensive, i'd say look for a fox body (87-93) to work on, it'll be lighter too. and nitrous is n2o i believe.
