Question type: Car Customization

I have a 1998 4.0 ford ranger. I blew the original
1998 engine. Ive replaced the old engine with a
1996 4.0 ford ranger engine. What parts do I,need

correctly in a 1998 body?

You'll need everything that's attached to the engine (I've learned the hard way that the brackets that holds the alternator, steering pump, etc will not line up with the crank pulley) and everything that plugs up to the engine and especially the ECM.
