2000 Ranger Engine into a BII, doable?

[stealth_600rr]

so yes i did search and did not find what i was looking for, or a direct answer, i have a complete 4.0 ohv out of a 2000 ranger, i don't want to go obd2 so i also have a complete engine and under hood harness out of a 1992 exploder, my BII was a 5 speed and the pcm/ecu is also out of a 5 speed (so is the harness) question is, has anyone ever gone this route, i heard of a guy doing a sohc with a 91 harness but cant find info on a newer ohv with an older harness.... thanks

Alright, finally a newb with a well thought out, researched question.

The cam synchro plug is different and the hole for the older one is a different size. A few other random plugs may be different as well, I'm not sure.

It can be done, you just need to do some wire work.

So in theory since I have both the 2000 harness and the 1992 harness I might be able to put the connector from the 2000 harness on the 92, question is will the newer syncro have the same signal range as the older one, now correct me if I'm wrong but that's just a trigger sensor so it should be the same right? Now the other thing I ran into today is that the fuel rail on the 2000 has no return line.....
