Well if you had a V8, I would say throw an M1 intake manifold on there
and be done with it. The belly pan gasket is blown on my Ram, and thats
my once-in-for-all solution.

Since you have the long since aftermarket-ignored 3.9V6 - pull the
intake, and use a bead of The Right Stuff gasket material between the
pan and the upper manifold. That stuff should be the last time you will
have to regasket the belly pan.
