a 1995-up engine is a more or less direct fit, though you'd be best planning on swapping your sensors onto any replacement engine.

one minor caveat... if you get a mid-1997 or newer engine you will need to get a new flywheel or A/T Flex plate with it, because someime in mid 1997 Ford switched from a Six bolt pattern to hold the flywheel to the block to an EIGHT bolt pattern with Male Torx head bolts.

But other than that for your purposes any 1995-up engine will do.
