I’m trying to find a video or a parts list so I can start working on trying to swap a 4.0 v6 into my 2.3l manual. Can someone please direct me in the right direction?
 
A wrecked donor would be your best course of action. Especially since you are in CA, they are going to want everything factory and everything working. And the engine will need to be the same year or later, and probably need all the CA smog on it, not the Fed smog. I am assuming you will have to get it to pass when you are done.
