Yes you can but its gonna be 4"s longer which is gonna move your tcase shifter back some if your running dual cases.  Your gonna have to do some trimming to make it fit right.
I have a few good L52 trans here which are in good shape.  5 speeds and you wont have to cut anything.  Ill take 150 obo for one of them. Located in Byron cali which is nor cali area.
