Converting from 4wd to 2wd

Yes it sounds crazy but here is my situation...I just picked up another '93 F150 4x4. The E40D is shot and transfer case won't engage but it has a fresh 302 in it. I have an '85 F150 parts truck that has a blown motor and is rusted out but has a new C6 in it. So I want to put the C6 into the '93. I know I'll have to disconnect the front d/s obviously and use the correct d/s for the rear. As far as the ecu goes can I just use one out of a speed density truck that had a factory C6? Will the column shifter still work or should I use a floor mounted ratchet style? I just need this truck to be a parts hauler...i've got another 4wd F150 and a Jeep so giving up the 4wd won't hurt me. Thanks.

i think the collumn would still work with a c6, but you might need to modify the crossmember leaving the transmission plugs laying there not connected shouldn't hurt the performance of the motor as far as i know
