You won't need a computer chip, you'll need a tune or a new computer. The 5.0 in your truck is not the high output motor, meaning the firing order between it and a mustang motor is different. You'll need an HO camshaft and an HO computer/tune.

rockauto.com has lots of computer choices, but the wiring likely won't match up to the truck. If you really want to do this, I suggest finding a wrecked mustang to take the computer and wiring out of. Heads and cam need to be decided together as a combo. Head to summitracing.com and check out some packages they have.
