Alright! update. engine on stand and already stripped of harness and entire upper intake. Kinda peeved however. Was told the engine was complete. come to find out it It def wasnt. Harness was mangled IAT sensor gone, MAF Gone. Bastards torched it out. even torched the lower motor mounts, so gotta pick up some knew one of those. and an alternator and a a/c condinser. Other that that Motor in GREAT shape no leaks. super clean. Got alot of pics but with my phone and no way to put them on the comp. Will have pics tmw afternoon!

Alright. Looks like i got a 98. becuase I have the external EGR and i know the 96/97 were internal. and that means i have the P heads too so thats a huge relief. So since i need a new harness anyway its all good. Cam sensor is cheap, found new fuel rails cheap off ebay. No reason why is shouldnt be able to reuse the injectors right? they came with the orangish yellowis ones. PCM i needed to get from JY so at least its not the end of the world. only a few extra parts.

So you definitely have 2 quick connects at the rails?

Here are the pics! sorry for crappy quality. ill have some more tmw night that are taken for a real camera
front
driver side
top
pass side
back
mangled harness
96-98 Stupid return style fuel rail
After working for a few hrs and not Payin attention to time
The Keep box (for cleaning, painting, organized baggies) Kinda OCD
Bob thanks for the info on Fuel injectors. I have been in touch with the company that sold it to me and I basically put it to them. not only did they send less that what was promised but the entire wrong year engine!!! So I am working it out with customer service to get the missing/mangled/wrong parts sent to me. Well see how that goes......

Ford used a Hall Effect CMP from 96~98 and a Variable Reluctance Sensor CMP from 99~01. For identification purposes, HE sensors have 3 electrical pins, VRS have 2.
Each of the two typs of CMP uses a matching Synchronizer for the same year ranges and each type takes a different alignment tool.

lol haha. alright well i plan on continueing to work on the teardown today. hopefully ill be able to break it down to just the longblock and no brackets etc. Forgot my gf camera again but it looks as if my phone takes better pics than i thought.
Thanks for the calrification on the CMP Bob. since im breakin down do you still think I will need the alignment tool or can I just install it at TDC when i reinstall the heads and junk?
Also, anything i should be looking out for such as hiccups, annoyances or special tools (other than pullers etc) that would make life easier. these are such simple engines its rediculous. Once, again Thank you to all who have input and are helpin out.

I STRONGLY advise you to get the genuine Ford Synchronizer/CMP even though it may cost double or triple. The 5.0 guys on the Explorer boards have had lots of trouble with the Chinese copies that seem to be available everywhere on eBay and in the auto parts chains.
Genuine Ford CMP alignment tool part numbers:
303-529 – 96~98 4.0L OHV Explorer/Ranger/Aerostar (3-wire HE)
303-638 – 99~00 4.0L OHV Explorer/Ranger (2-wire VRS)
303-529 – 95~97 3.0L OHV Ranger/Aerostar (3-wire HE)
303-589 – 98~04 3.0L OHV Ranger (2-wire VRS)
303-562 – 96~98 5.0L Explorer (3-wire HE)
303-630 – 99~01 5.0L Explorer (2-wire VRS)
OTC part numbers (OTC is the company that manufactures the Ford tools above):
6472 – 96~98 4.0L OHV Explorer/Ranger/Aerostar (3-wire HE)
6483 – 99~00 4.0L OHV Explorer/Ranger (2-wire VRS)
6472 – 95~97 3.0L OHV Ranger/Aerostar (3-wire HE)
6473 – 98~04 3.0L OHV Ranger (2-wire VRS)
6469 – 96~98 5.0L Explorer (3-wire HE)
6470 – 99~01 5.0L Explorer (2-wire VRS)

OTC Tools (OTC6470) Ford Cam Sensor Sync Tool - OTC6470
So the Dorman ones from like Rock Auto suck?
