Welcome to FTE.
My wild guess is you have slipped timing chains and the valves are open at the wrong time, or bent, allowing compression stroke gases to blow back through the intake.
If this is the case:
--scrap vehicle, or:
--pull engine, set aside, find another running 4.0 SOHC out of almost anything including Mustangs, and transfer your intake, wiring, exhaust etc to it, install that and toss the carcass.
--if you like to suffer, rebuild your engine.
Have you done a compression test?
