Hey, Rob!

<snip>...Dak (110,000 miles and chugging) with the 3.9 V6 and I am
 interested in making a "home brew air intake" for it. Could somebody
please
 help me with a "parts list" for this project?<snip>

Check out Kevin Hoegen's page: http://webpages.charter.net/khoegen
He's got just what you need for a parts list...

<snip>Also, my engine pings like crazy at certain times, even with 93
octane.<snip>

You sure it's "ping" & not the tranny telling you to downshift? The DAKSY
will act that way if I call for more go pedal & I don't downshift,
especially on the interstates...
Maybe time for new wires or cap & rotor? What kinda plugs ya runnin? Gap?
As far as the t-stat helping eliminate the ping, I don't think so - but -
you'll hafta get Bernd's input...he's forgotten more about the 3.9 V-6 than
most of us will ever learn!
HTH,
