My 07 Explorer has a 6 speed tranny. It's mounted to virtually the same engine. It has the 4.6L........same as out GT's. Wonder if it would work??????????????????????????

It's hard enough to swap from a manual to auto on these cars let alone putting some sort of frankenstien computer in a mustang that can understand a modern 6 speed automatic transmission. I hope you have a PhD in electrical engineering because that's probably the only way this swap could happen.

Anything can be swapped if you do enough research in order to fully understand what you are doing.
I would not even consider trying to adapt the factory controller. As others have stated, trying to work with your existing controller or trying to adapt the controller that was used in the donor vehicle would be a nightmare.
There are some very good aftermarket automatic transmission controllers that the street rod people like to use.
Try these people:

I see in their product information that they have the 5R55 Ford 5 speed auto listed. It was not there a few months ago so chances are someone there has considered the six speed units that now exits.
It would be worth contacting them.
Good luck!
