You will have problems with a mismatch between the ECU and transmission or engine either way. I don't know if it will work and your Explorer is now not smog legal to boot.

This is not about things "bolting up". As you have seen the electronics do not match. My advice is to sell the engine and buy a correct one for your vehicle.

There are no manuals for installing the wrong engine in your car. Good luck.
