3.0L 3VZE rebuild. Need help finding parts

I posted this in the Newbie Thread but I need my questions answered ASAP, Thanks

Ok heres the deal. I bought my 4Runner with a blown motor and purchased a junk yard motor to go into my 4runner. I decided to rebuild the junk yard motor because I didnt want to take any chances of it blowing up or breaking down. The motor I bought came out of a 2wd truck and I have a 4wd 4runner so the oil pans, windage trays, and oil pickup tubes are different between the two. The oil pan and the pickup tube off the blown 4wd motor are still good but the windage tray is beat to hell since 2 pistons and rods decided to go threw it.

Here are my parts questions. Where can I find a 4wd 3VZE windage tray? And where can I find a replacement knock sensor wire connector that goes from the knock sensor, between the intake manifold and cylinder head to the main engine wiring harness?

Thanks
