24V Engine came with Auto Tranny, How hard to convert to manual Tranny?

Ok, Here's a new question. Remember the Motorhome Conversion ?

I found a 24 Valve 5.9 L Motor. (EBAY)
Only problem is it was orginally hooked to an Auto Tranny.
What obstacles do you think I will run into trying to run this with a NV5600 Maunal Transmission?
Will I need a new computer?
Since this will be a Gas Motor to TD conversion am I biting off more than I can chew at one time?
Haven't found a 12 V Motor yet.
But did find a 6 speed manual tranny close by.
A rebuilt 4 sp. Auto Tranny for my truck "Complete and Outright" is qouted at $5400.00

I have searched the World for a complete donor truck and have had no luck. Somebody is buying the wrecks up and parting them out faster than I can Dial the phone.

I;m still looking an would appreciate some links to solutions and opinion. "Search" didn't reveal enough spefic info.
The Quest Continues!
