My Mazda b4000 is a 2009 V6 4.0 SOHC with the 8th digit “E” I have a local scrap yard saying that a V6 4.0 SOHC with the 8th digit “X” will go right in after bolting my injections on ..Is this correct or is there something else I will have to do ?
 
They are incorrect

In Rangers or B4000 the 4.0l OHV was VIN X(1990-2000), it would bolt in but computer couldn't run it well, injectors are not the issue
4.0l SOHC was VIN E for all Ranger's and B4000's, 2001 to 2011

Explorers used K and E for the 4.0l SOHC, K was for flex fuel model and yes you would need to change injectors if you put in a K engine, but it would work fine after that

Mustangs used VIN N for the 4.0l SOHC and it would also work for your swap, BUT...........you have to swap over upper and lower intake from the B4000 4.0l SOHC
Mustang used drive by wire not a throttle cable, and air intake was on opposite side
