You can do it easily in terms of the mechanics, but the $$$ factor is high.

The 5spds used a twin disc clutch and the 6spds used a single so he'd have to get another clutch to that as well. Clutches for that car are pricey.

To further complicate things, there were two different 6spd transmissions as well: one had double cone synchros on just 1-4, the other had them on 1-6. In any event a rebuilt/new 6spd transmission is over $6000.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

I keep thinking this thread is about some sort of sexually-transmitted disease, which worries me because I keep coming in looking for more.
