The computer is already setup to talk to the engine and transmission, the interface to the truck is just for the water and oil sensors really. Use the ones from your old engine.....
The 96 trans will like that 96 PCM
Your 2002 gets the speedo signal from the rear axle/abs module, all of this can stay with the truck. The 96 vss will get hooked up to the pcm to make it happy
You can run the 96 engine using a returnless fuel rail and injectors and keep your 02 fuel system
I would just run the 96 drivetrain, making it adapt to your 02 truck is not any different then any other ranger conversion except you need a returnless 5.0 fuel rail and injectors...otherwise keep it all 96!
The 96-97.5 computer is VERY friendly to tuning/power mods, etc
Earlier I was thinking your donor was a 2000, since you have the complete 96 USE THAT!!
