Get a 05 mustang haynes or chiltons manual. The Plugs are almost always dedicated and cant be plugged into the wrong port. Chilton or google searches will give you some wiring colors to look for, find them and follow and you'll eventually figure it out. You can usually match wire colors on each side of the plugs too.

If the autoshop repair manuals don't give you the information you need try purchasing the ford shop manuals or seeing if they are posted online. The autoshop manuals from chiltons or haynes used to have wiring diagrams that called out wire colors and component termination, not necessarily which plug it went into.

One you click the link just click wiring diagram over on the left and pick which one you want. It will upload a PDF of the diagram.

Personally... I'd do a 5.4l V8 OR 6.8l V10 swap if I had the $$$ to waste... if you could get your hands on a 5.4l from a F150, you could just swap the wiring harness and computer and you'd be all set. All you'd need to do is reprogram the Motorola ECU for a stickshift, which can be done. Believe it or not, I was looking into the '07's with the ECU and they use the same model ECU across the board. So effectively, if you can find someone with a Ford programmer, then you can get it to work with the stick shift. However, another conclusion that I brought up is the following... If you've got an engine and 6 speed manual out of a super duty, you can get it to work 100%. All you might need would be a new gauge cluster... but that's not a problem either.
If you want the EASIEST way out, I'd say just find a SD 5.4l or 6.8l with a 6 speed, and rip it out. But before you go doing that... make sure it is 2wd! Which might be hard to find... who knows... but ideally, if you can get your hands on a SD 5.4l with a manual 2wd tranny, and gauge cluster, you wouldn't need to do ANY programming at all. HOWEVER, you still need to somehow mount that 6 speed manual... so some cab cutting my be a small issue... but I've seen some pretty good jobs out there. But, it WILL work and would be one heck of a F150.
