There is no plug and play conversion - nothing even close. A 5.0 (pushrod 302) will bolt to your transmission, but your PCM won't work. The only OBD2 5.0's were in 1996 and in Explorers for a few years after that, I doubt that one of those computers will work right in your truck. Also note that your 4.2 has as much power as a 5.0. A 4.6 won't bolt to your transmission.
What you need is a complete donor 4wd truck with a 4.6 or 5.4. You will need the engine, transmission, PCM, and wiring harness.
