2000 4.0 needs new engine...help

I have a 2000 4.0 5speed with a blown motor. I need to find one that will replace it. Its slim pickins over here in MT and I have a couple options.
1. A 97 that needs to be pulled from wrecked truck
2. A 95 that is from an explorer
Both were auto trucks.

My question is, will my flywheel throw either out of balance?
Also, will the 95 work in the 2000? It would be the easiest because it is already pulled.

Thanks

The 97 would be the better choice as you have all the sensors, harness and PCM, should you need them...

Also, you pretty much know it was running when it was wrecked.

On the 97 engine, are all the accessories the same as my 2000? The exhaust manifolds, oil pan, intake, TB, etc...?
