There is actually a good aftermarket for the 3.8 - cams, roller rockers, forged pistons, ported heads/ intake, headers, etc. The stock headers on the 94 mustang are actually as good as any shorties made, so keep them, so unless you are going to get longtube headers.
As Crafty said, check out 3.8mustang.com - Read the stickies, etc and try to do searches, as some of the members get testy when you ask something that has been answered several times before.

http://www.tmaturbo.com/Customers/Jays/interiorbay.jpg lol that's a TMA kit. the guy does something like a high ten second pass with stock internals and hasn't gutted the car or anything.. |
well how much would a 4.2 cost me ?? i mean money is a big deal for a first rebuild :P and is there anything extra needed to install it ???

Here is a link to Morana's 3.8 products. Tom is the man as far as the 3.8 Ford V6 is concerned.

It depends on what you want. For cheap, you just need to find a 4.2 from a F150 or E150 and the upper intake from a Mustang, and the rest is the same as a split port swap. If you are going with forged pistons and rods, the cost difference is only the price of the 4.2 crank.

ok cool...now is there a difference between the 4.2 from an f150 and e150 or no ??? and the intake from the mustang we are talking the split port intake right ???
and there are no other modifications needed to install it other then the fuel rail and the throttle cable ??? .... and will my original t-5 tranny hook up to it ? |

there's a post with a fair bit of info for you.. and yea your t5 will do fine :tup |
The important thing to remember is that the 94 mustang 3.8 is externally balanced and the 4.2 is internally balanced. Don't mix the flywheels/ balancers between the 2. Use zero balance flywheel/ balancer on the 4.2, (either from a 4.2 or 2001+ 3.8)
