99 Ford Explorer donor

Well after trying to find a 302 donor for my 86 Bronco I stumbled across a good find of a 1999 Ford Explorer 4x4 with a manual trans! I was wanting to keep my B2 a manual and this is the first manual trans explorer I have found in my area. The greatest part is they are only asking $500! I have read where it will be a little more difficult to swap the engine and trans from a newer model explorer. I will deal with the difficulty because it is exactly what I want. The wiring will not be an issue my biggest issue will actually be having to physically fit the engine and trans in the body. Hopefully the deal will go through

A manual trans Explorer would be a 4.0, not a 5.0
Unless it's been modded, of course.
