Another Tranny swap question

My question envolves switching from an automatic to a manual transmission. My truck is a '95 f150 with automatic w o/d transmission (r470w i think). I have found a donor truck that has a mazda 5 speed transmission in it. Both are 4x4 and have the 302 v8. I know what all is involved in switching from auto to manual but the main question is if i switch the computers (that has to be done right?), will everything fuction right? Also, will my transfer case in my 95 bolt right on to the mazda? thanks,
jordan

I don't know about the transfer case but you will need to switch the computer.
Cheers,
