To be honest I would look for a 1992/1993 F150 with a 5.8L engine. That way you have the correct EFI engine, distributor, emission pieces and a wiring harness as well as the mount mount perches.
You might get lucky and find one that already has a manual transmission. That means the computer is a plug-n-play swap.
Your resources will lead to which path to take.

I'd go for a 94'+ roller cam 5.8L, then matching year 5.8L (to your current truck) electronics donor.
on edit:
There was no 5.8L/ZF5 or M5OD F150 made, so the PCM will need to come from something else, like f250. Or, somewhat of a work around is to leave the MLPS sensor plugged in to the trans harness, in neutral or park, zip tied to frame rail, while using the 5.8L/E4OD PCM. Unless you can locate a 5.8L/C6 truck; that PCM would not be "looking" for the E4OD.
