Hi pixito, welcome!

Nice project..

The stock transmission should be strong enough. There are a couple of cars that have done this swap already, do a quick search to see if they used the EGS51 transmission ECU or EGS52?

The EGS52 is programmable. The 430 - 55AMG used the same 722.6 transmission although the final drive was higher in the AMG for top speed.

The TCU is compatible and easily up gradable. I had Eurocharged tune a $25.00 E-bay TCU and I can roost with any stock mustang now.
Considering I ran down a 2017 in my 2002 with minimum tuning. no complaints.
