I've always had good luck with the FL 820s in a 3.0.

For oil filter, I run the same one on my 302 and 390: Motorcraft FL-1A. I believe it is (or was, at least) made by Purolator and is my go-to for my old Ford V8s.
Looks identical to the one I pulled out of my 2010 when I was swapping it from electric to mechanical fuel pump for my 302 swap, and the price seems pretty accurate, and it's Motor craft brand, which is usually Ford parts
I had to order a motorcraft alternator which hasn't given me any problems 6 months later.
You can get oem Motorcraft coils at good price. Just got the for my son's f150 and the ship fast
The Motorcraft thermostat sounds promising though, never have an issue with genuine ford parts.
I used a motorcraft RT-1139 thermostat. Comes with a jiggle valve to help bleed air already installed and cost me 8 bucks. You won’t find any place that says they fit other than some forum posts but they do indeed work, I installed one on my MJ with the only issue being me not refilling the radiator after dumping all the coolant.
Go with an OEM unit by Motorcraft even if it's more expensive. Not somethin you want to do twice, learned this lesson with my Explorer. Threw on an aftermarket unit and it doesn't communicate with Ford's smart charging system correctly so it doesn't provide correct voltages as needed, therefore throwing a charging system warning constantly.
Whatever you do, don’t use Motorcraft wiper blades. They lasted three weeks before the because more torn than a teenagers pants.
Got 8 counterfeit "Motorcraft" coils that I ended up returning cause they couldn't handle the load.
