Default Swapping a 6.8L Trition V10 into the 99-04 Mustang

Hello all. I got into the car scene with Honda Civics. Civic owners commonly swap engines from other Hondas and Acuras.

I don't know much about Fords. So does anyone know if it is possible to fit the 6.8L Triton V10 Ford truck engine into the 99-04 Mustang? If you can, would it make a difference if you had a V6 mustang or a GT? I'm looking to jump ship to American muscle, and I thought it would be pretty unique to have a V10 Mustang. Starting from a V6 platform would be cheaper since used 99 V6's can be had for around 5k. Do ya'll think I could complete this project with a budget of $25,000??

This would be a huge step up from my 1.6L 2000 Honda Civic Si.

Here's a site with the V10 engine specs:

A V10 in a late model stang isn't as unique as you'd think.. do a search & you'll get hits

Easy. Could go old school with a 514cid big block, though. It'll fit...with a cowl hood.
