On the Ranger, 2001 was the first year for the SOHC.
On the Explorer, I want to say '95 or '98 was the first year for the SOHC. There were a few years there that Ford offered BOTH 4.0's in the Explorer.

Nope, you're mistaken - SOHC was not available in the Ranger series trucks until 2001 - availability in the Explorer lineup started in 1997 though.

Can I do a Cam sawp on a OHV motor. I was just thinking i have a solid block and if it all bolts up it could be a cool project.

sohc mounts are the same, but you CAN NOT use sohc heads on a ohv motor.
