The tools you will need to time this engine are in this link below:
OTC Tools & Equipment 6488 Ford Sohc 4.0L V6 Cam Service Set
If you have anything else physically in your possession other than those tools, there is no point in trying to disassemble that engine because it will never run. This engine uses no timing marks, nor are any of the chain sprockets keyed. They are fastened together entirely with bolt torque.
It may end up less expensive for you just to purchase a used, running complete engine to install in its place.
