85 2.8 to 96 4.0

[TheB2]

I have a 84 bronco2 with the 2.8, that i am wanting to do a 96 explorer 4.0 swap in. I have the engine out of the Explorer already along with the engine harness and computer. I was supposed to be having a Ford master tech help me with the swap but he apparently no longer seems interested. I have been looking at some tech articles and found this one to be helpful http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/4L_Conversion2.shtml
i also have a 1986 and 1987 bronco2's for parts in the swap if needed. My current problem is stripping everything i need from the explorer, because my neighbors see it as a HUGE eyesore, which i dont blame them because it was rolled. But like i said i have the engine harness out already, anyone have a list or something of EVERYTHING that ill need? Considering the explorer has to go away and i won't be able to get any more parts off of it. Help is really appreciated
and if this is the wrong place to put this let me know, thanks.

Everything under the hood, down to the inner fenders. The transmission/transfer case if you can use it. (Manual vs. Auto) The dash if you wanna go that route for gauges. And save the rear axle if it has a ratio you can use. Don't forget you'll need a good high pressure fuel pump somewhere.

The seats should be swap-able too..

I'm sure I left out something.

i decided that i am going to use my 87 b2 instead so that i dont have to swap fuel lines etc.

Trying to use the 96 wiring is going to make this a lot harder.

ok if i am swapping the 96 explorer, engine only, into the 87 B2, what will i be able to use from the 87? and what will i need from the 96? im getting different answers from different people and it is confusing the hell outta me.
