Default 2000 Ranger xlt 4x4 3.0 automatic v8 conversion

I'm soon to attempt a v8 swap on my 2000 4x4 Ranger. I have purchased a wrecked but complete 1998 explorer with the 5.0 awd setup. My questions an concerns are
1. I would like to keep the part time transfer from the ranger. I'm not certain that it will bolt or spline up to the explorer trans. If anyone know what transfers will work for this application your imput would be greatly appreciated.
Also the explorer radiator was damaged during the accident, I'm aware that 302's are generally cooler running v8 any I am curious of your alls thoughts of using the single core from the ranger with some royal purple heat reduction additive? Anyone that has any experience with attempts at trying this please let me know the outcome.
Thanks Jess.

When I did my swap I used the ex radiator but it crapped out after a few hundred miles so I ended up buying Chinese all aluminum 3 core radiator from ebay for less than $200. I live in Mesa Arizona where it's already been 95*+ here and temps typically meet or exceed 115* a few times a year. This will be my first summer with the new radiator but I don't expect any issues. Can't help you on the transfer case info though, mine is 2wd.
