2.3, 3.0 and 4.0 all have different bolt patterns at the bellhousing and the bellhousing is integral with the manual transmission case. So, if you swap engines, you also need to swap to the matching transmission. To do the swap, the major parts needed would be engine, transmission, engine wiring harness, PCM and some of the exhaust system.
