if its a mod motor it should fit. but like said, the problem with dropping in new motors usually comes to the intake manifold. any of the 5.4 motors (2v, 3v, or 4v) will drop into a mustang without any problems, except the intake manifold doesnt allow the hood to close. ALSO, the 5.4 uses an 8 bolt clutch and flywheel/flexplates while the 01.5 and up new edges use an 11 bolt. so in this instance you need to replace your clutch and flywheel. you may have that situation (not hard to fix, but can add cost if your doing this on a budget)
do you already have the f150 motor? do you have a v6 or v8 mustang? why not just find a 4.6l PI motor...you can find those for stupid cheap.
