Parts swap?

Can you take a camshaft synchronizer from a 96 4.0 and install it into a 94 4.0 I'm trying to put the 94 engine into a 96 truck they have different plugins

Yes

Both should be 3 wire Hall Effect sensors
But in any case yes, 1993-1998 4.0l used the same cam sensors and synchros, in 1999 they change to 2 wire VR type sensors/synchros

1993 and 1994 didn't have cam sensors except those sold in Calif I thought

There are some states that are California compliant, New York is, but Vermont (a 20 minute drive from my door) was a federal emissions state until very recently if memory serves me correctly.

Do you know how to set the synchronizer after the engine is at top dead center I made the mistake of not marking it

You're probably better off going through the book procedure to set it anyway. Tech article covers the how to.

Note one of the closeup pictures in that article showing the synchronizer drive installed in the block is 180 degrees off where it's supposed to be (occupying space where the intake manifold would be).

There are other posts in the forum that cover some of the other details if you use the search function.

I got it all together everything is great it runs like dream the only thing I had to change was the temperature sensors synchronizer and intake just for future reference
