I’ll move this over to the V-8 swaps section…
That said, a 99 Ranger and a 96 Explorer are less than ideal swap candidates. The biggest issues you‘re likely to encounter is the anti-theft (the Ranger should have it and the Explorer won’t), and the fuel systems are not compatible (Ranger uses a high pressure returnless system and the Explorer used a lower pressure return system until 99, only the 99-01 Explorers had a matching fuel system to the 98-11 Ranger).
