I had a tickover problem with my 3.9, its on this forum somewhere, took me ages to find the problem and it was the centrifugal advance inside the distributor. Fitted a second hand distributor, set the timing as per haynes manual and she is like new!!

If you wanted to keep it really simple you can buy a battery terminal clamp with isolator built in. Cheap and effective but means you have to access battery to isolate

I built my own 3" single exit exhaust for 3.9efi, i bought stainless exhaust parts (bends, polished silencer, straights) from demon tweeks and welded them together, sounds and looks great!!

I have twin snorkels on my V8 EFI and she runs great
