Default will this trans work?

i have a 97 f150 4x4 with a 4.6 and a 4r70w. i have a line on a brand new 98 (or did he say 99 up) and up 4r70w. will this trans bolt in and of course plug in and work?

so i been scouring the internet and i think i found some incredibly helpful info. can anyone verify this? so here goes apparently the 98+ trans is better built, so it should bolt in which makes sense as its still a 4r70w, now the wiring is different. so i searched and searched and found this: http://www.p71interceptor.com/tranny...ead/index.html
this is supposed to be the wiring for the conversion they say you just have to switch the pins around and WAH-LAH!! so anyone... can you verify this?

I have access to a salvage interchange, the following are the applications that are interchangeable with your truck.




FORD F150 PICKUP 1997 A.T.; 8-280 (4.6L), (4R70W, AODE-W), 4x4
FORD F250 PICKUP 1997 A.T.; under 8500 GVW, 8-280 (4.6L), (4R70W/AODE-W), 4x4

and also swap the mlps, (range sensor) they should swap over as well. Any input would be great.
