convert auto to stick

After 4 cars, i own my first with an automatic transmission. I bought a 1994 Mercury cougar with a 4.8 V8. So, far its proven to be a fairly decent car but i do miss having a standard.
Now i may have a possible solution to my dilemma. Would it be possible to take a 5-speed from a 4.6 mustang and put it in my cougar? What would it take? Different driveshaft? tranny mounts?etc.

thanks,
mike

It probably would be cheaper to just get another car since it is a 94. It probably wouldn't be worth it.

computers have made the switches difficult if not impossible. It was easy back when I did my 55 Chevy BelAir.
