In short, another good engine from an '09.

The long way; a complete running V8 2009 to swap engine, trans, wiring, fuel, and PCM from, not to mention the mounts, and possibly transfer case and driveshafts.

I was going to V8 swap a '97 4.0, in the meantime I snagged a '98 5.0 and drove it for a year and half or so, then I got the '06. Haven't looked back, honestly.

It's probably cheaper to find a good condition V8 Explorer than it would be to swap a V8 into yours, if you factor in the labor. Cheaper and easier to find a good 4.0, change the timing chains, and swap it. Keep in mind that the Mustang used the same 4.0. They are cheaper to buy, and you only have to swap the intake and exhaust manifolds.

what year the 4.0 mustang needs to be and do the vin need to be a E. I know where a 09 is right now Also with the 4.0 on my explorer its a 4/4 so is that going to be a problem with the extra timing for the 4x4

Any 05-09 4.0 should be fine. No worries about 4X4.

So do I get the wiring harness and ECM and anything else and does any 4.0 connect to my transmission

If you are just replacing your 4.0, you won't need any wiring or pcm. You just have to use your old intake and exhaust manifolds if you use a Mustang engine. The block and heads are the same.

I just went to the junk yard and noticed that the 04 and 06 ford explorer have the same engine what is it not compatible to the 09

2006 is compatible.
