Will any OHV 4.0 work for a replacement engine?
I recently bought a 2wd '93 Ranger that has a 4.0 and an automatic transmission. It most likely could use a new engine.
Will any OHV 4.0 work? No issues with bellhousing pattern? Balancing? Will my current accessories mount to it?
A guy on craigslist has a 4.0, but has no idea what it's from. He said the engine has "4.0 Liter" on it, I'm guessing maybe on the intake. My engine doesn't have "4.0 Liter" anywhere on it.
What are the chances this engine will work?

A few more things to keep in mind regarding the 4.0L OHV:
- '95+ have a black composite upper intake. Prior years have an aluminum intake.
- '94 and earlier years don't have an EGR setup ('94 CA models are the exception);
- '94 and earlier years were not equipped with sequential fuel injection, but instead used a "batch" injection system. As such, there is no camshaft position sensor/synchronizer assembly on those older engines (again, '94 CA models are the exception);
More technical info can be found HERE.
