Have a 4.6 out of a wrecked explorer. it has very low miles on it. been sitting for a 2-3 years. before install in vehicle would you go thru and replace bearings, lash adjusters etc etc??

 

oh, edit: been sitting indoors on a engine stand. oil pan, front cover, valve covers so on and so forth all on motor. has oil in it.

I'd just install it, change the oil and see if she fires

This is what I'd do, if it's been sealed up it should run. As with anything you don't really know until you try. However if you can't afford for it not to work, go through it, or if you want to do something other than stock in the future, go through it. Just my $.02
