what yr engines will work on my 94 ex

[KobeJ05]

u probably seen my post about blown head gasket possible intake or rings. i was thinking maybe another engine will do if its gonna cost alot to fix the mileage on the eng and trans is uknown they were changed out at 120k i guess due to engine smokeing which is weird at theat mileage. i think my engine in there is from a 95. so im thinking maybe a 94 or 95 maybe a 96? my mechanic can fine a low mileage one for me. trans shifts fine crossing my fingers. thanks alot.

Notes from Hollander:
German Ford 6-245 (4.0L)
Change induction & electrical systems as necessary.
Upper intake manifolds '91-92 have no EGR holes & '93-94 are available with or without EGR holes.
Switch oil pans as necessary. Pan changes in 1994.
Exhaust manifolds must be switched '91-92 & 93-94.
Left hand exhaust manifolds must be switched Cal./Fed. '93-94.
Right valve cover must be changed for extended oil filler.
Available with or without low oil sensors.
6 bolt crankshaft.

Again, this is what Hollander says, it's not the gospel of cross reference.
