daminc, I did a swap similar to this about a year ago on my 85(3.8 to 5.0). To be able to use the ’96 Explorer fuel rails, I used the fuel lines coming off the rail and used Dorman fuel line connectors PN# 800-130 & 800-131, they are listed for a 1996 Ford Explorer 5.0, and attached them to the stock CFI fuel lines as shown below.
