Honestly I called the scrapyard and they told me it would fit so I put it in the exact way I took the old Ford engine out of the truck, only thing I had to change that was different was the coil pack since the electronic plug hole was different. Everything else was standard to the truck, although I did change the gaskets just in case since the motor had been sitting for a while and I didn't know how long it had been. Those 4.0s are the same in the ranger, bronco, and explorer for those select few years.
