2001 Ranger 4.0 what years will work

[ed73z]

I recently bought a 01 Ford Ranger 4 x 4 that the rear timing chain took the head and block out. Don't know how the boy did it! I'm trying to find out what years will work with this truck. I found a wrecked 99 Explorer with a 4.0 with low miles at the junk yard. Any advice given would be appreciated.

Could this boy have driven the truck this way??
