You can but you need a lot of little things, like the V8 wiring harness and computer.

I'm sure mounts are different, you'll need a trans that'll fit the V8, and a lot of little things. It can be done, but there's a lot of little things that need to be thought of. I'm no expert in this but search around the internet, you'll find an exact list of what is needed.
