well u will one of the more unique ones if u build up that 3.8..... boring out a 4.6 cool but your better off going with the tried and true and reliable as hell 5.0...

If you do swap in a V8 you'll have to swap the Transmission. The V8 will bolt up to your V6 Tranny, but it won't last long if you plan on driving the car hard. I recommend putting a supercharger on the V6. You'll more power than a V8, and costs about the same as it would to do the swap. Also if you do add more power, the V6 7.5 rear end can only handle up to about 300hp.
