If you want to keep your ABS and other body modules your best bet would be to go with the electronics and harness off of a 96 and up 5.0 explorer. It would be difficult but possible with some help from a tuner to keep all your electronics that way. This would be the way I would do it since by doing this you will still be using a OBD2 EEC, depending on where you live that can be very important if they do emissions tests..

For example in Massachusetts if your car is OBD2 all you need to do to get a sticker is pass a OBD2 monitor test. If your car is OBD1 then the car has to go on the rollers and be smog tested
