Can a GM car battery be installed in a Ford Vehicl

[slice2020]

Can a GM car battery (side post/terminals) be installed in a Ford car which the battery has the terminals/posts on TOP of the battery? I have a battery from a broken 2001 Grand AM GT and want to know if I can put it in a 2000 Mustang. Just trying to save some $$$ until I can afford a new battery.
