Can I put a 5.0 w/ 5spd in my 68?

I still have my first car, a 68 Coupe with 302 and 4 speed. Can I find a 5.0 Litre with a 5 speed manual from the early 90's and fit it in my Coupe? I have heard it can be done. Comments?

Yep it should be an easy swap. The fuel injection & distributor electronics are gonna be a pain in the **** to set up though
