Engine/transmission swap

I need a lot of help here as im not a mechanic and also have never owned a ford. Ok lets get into this. I have purchased a 92 f150 with a 5.0. That motor has been taken out and the f150 body now has a 97 f250 5.8 motor in it. The f150 transmission is blown and i need to transfer over the f250 transmission. Will this line up or will i run into issues with the drive shaft or electronical issues? Another option i thought of was to just get a refurbished f150 transmission but i didnt know if that would work because it will be hooked up to the 97 250 motor technically. Thanks in advance.

The bolt pattern for the 5.0L and 5.8L are the same so the transmission will physically to either engine. The problem is that you haven’t told us what model transmission is in the 150 and what transmission is in the 250?
