Can you post a picture? The injector rail doesn't connect to the throttle body so I'm wondering if you have the right part. If it is indeed the fuel rail, you don't want to mess with JB weld. Springing a fuel leak could be rather inconvenient at the very least and dangerous at worst.
The fuel rail should have a schrader valve (almost looks like your tire stem but no rubber) and a fuel pressure regulator on it. There is a small tube that connects manifold vacuum to the regulator diaphragm. It's usually plastic with rubber fittings on the end.
The 3.0 was also used in the Aerostar and Taurus. See if your Ford parts guy can tell you if they all take the same part number and what years use the same part number. This will give you more options in the junkyard.
You might even be able to adapt the fuel rail (or whatever part you need) from another model with some minor changes. Sometimes, the differences in parts from different models can be easily worked around.
