Converting to Mas computer help

I found a 5.8 mas air donner truck. Its a 1995 f250 with a auto tranz.

Problem is my project truck is a 1988 f 150 with a manual tranz.

I have read that the computer and wiring harnes will work from the 1995 on my truck but i will have to keep the netral switch off the auto tranz, the computer will throw codes aswell and the cruze control won't work. Has any one found a way to fix this? Thanks

You got the perfect truck for MAF conversion, go buy a Mustang computer and meter off Ebay or the local classifieds and strip wires from a MAF truck to create an overlay harness for the injectors and MAF meter. Just be aware you need the full length of wires all the way back to the computer not just back to the block connectors.
