Bronco II motor conversion

Has anyone performed a 2.9 to 4.0 conversion? I just bought a 4.0 taken from a 94 Ranger and I'm installing into my 86 B2. Is there a kit available? Next problem....the computer wasn't part of the package, how do I match the correct computer with the motor? Does the motor have an ID number on it somewhere that matches with a VIN number of a vehicle? If so, I can get the calibration code of the computer from a Ford dealer and correctly install the proper computer. Please.........does anybody have any ideas?
Also, the radiator of the 2.9 is obviously smaller than the 4.0, from what vehicle can I take a radiator from to accommodate the 4.0?

you can get rads out of exploders and aerostars.
not sure about the computer thing though.
