Default Need info on possible 4.6 swap 2002 XLT

Hi my 2002 XLT standard cab 2.3 with manual transmission is in need of a new engine and transmission.
The engine has a noise once warmed up sounds like a slight rod knock
The transmission is worn and hard to find first I found lots of metal shavings. Both have 141k and apparently they were hard miles.

Anyways I found locally a 2011 4.6 v8 engine and transmission with harness and computer plus any and all mechanical items Attaching it to the car for 500 buck the engine and trans has 55k on it .

On the surface this seems like it may be a great candidate for a donor car but I am not sure if I will also need a explorer donor car for items that may not be the same

Any input would be appreciated BTW the engine and transmission will be out of a Grand Marquis
