I want to take the guts of a Mazda b3000 4x4 and put them in my 2002 fx4 ranger

I was going to put the guts of a similar model explorer into my 2002 fx4 ranger but I got to talking with rond and after that I’ve decided to take the guys out of an 06 Mazda 4.0 sohc. 4x4 into my ranger the PO butchered the original 4.0 sohc wiring harness to try to make a 3.0 and trans work but it failed miserably I currently have the engine and trans out but do have a trans for the 4.0 sohc now I’m really knew to all of this and I’ve probably already been told everything I need to know but just in case what are the exact things I would need to make this swap work? Thanks In advance

buy the whole truck, you'll be money and time ahead. You'll need the pats, modules, harness, computer, keys, transmission...everything.

Mazda B3000 is a 3.0l engine, B4000 is a 4.0l

Shouldn't be a problem, B4000 and Ranger 4.0l were the same in the same years, just different badges and grills
