Not wanting a political rant, simply asking if the 363" can be installed in anything other than a 2013 Mustang for a SS/GT build

Yes you can. Mark Nowicki from Mich has a 5.9 DragPak motor in his Avenger for GT/EA-FA-GA. So does Michael Beard in his Volare. I think Nick Morris from KY has a 'new' 352 in his '96 Mustang for GT/FA. And so on. So, yes, a new CobraJet (or COPO or DragPak) motor can run GT in another year car. But, be wary of the high-horsepower motors for GT. GT/A and GT/AA are 8.00-8.49 pound classes (same as SS/E and SS/EA). Meaning some cars in GT will be pretty heavy. So, a 330 cid, 425 hp CJ motor rated 425 for GT (when they hit the horsepower on, say, Rock Haas' SS/DA '08 Mustang, it doesn't affect the GT rating, and vice versa) will have to weigh 3,570. Basically the same as, say, an '89 Camaro with a '71 454/425 motor, so nit a huge deal--yet. But once people start hitting the HP in GT, we could soon see 3,800 pound (or heavier) GT/AA cars. Quite a lot, compared to some smaller motored, late model FWD conversion cars that can get to 3,100 pounds (or less) for GT/AA.
