Why sure you can.
Although I have no idea of your abilities or equipment to take on such a task, for an answer I'd suggest posting your question in the 1979-1995 fox sn95 gen talk forum.
And welcome to stangnet.
Anything can be swapped, as far as that goes. I'd have better answers for you if you were swapping a V8. I would think the computer would need to be changed too.
Are you intending to use the auto, or go to the manual?
Tell you what, i'll move your thread over to the '79-'95 tech section. Someone there will have more information for you.
Maybe @jrichker might be able to help out. At least he'll be able to steer you in the right direction.
