2001 4.0 4x4 motor swap
Welcome to the forum
2001-2011 4.0l SOHC Long block, VIN "E" is the engine type in Rangers, Explorers and Mazda B4000 models, VIN "X" was the older 4.0l OHV engine
You will swap over your upper and lower intake to the "new" Long Block, so wiring matches up
Maybe the oil pan as well, depends on 2WD or 4x4, you don't need the model with internal Balancer, if that comes up, doesn't hurt or help
If looking at used engines then 2004-2011 will avoid the timing chain issues these had, you still need to swap upper and lower intakes
Also on these you should replace the Knock sensor
And on any engine swap you replace the rear main seal
