Yes you can, just use the flex plate from the 5.2 engine. Everything is a direct swap.

You might have to fight with it a little bit. I swapped my transmission from my old blown up 5.2 to my newer 5.9. I did it all out of the vehicle and it was a bit of a pain to get it all to line up on the ground. If you're doing it inside the engine bay, you're going to have to fight with it a little bit.
