Will a late model 5spd trans from a 302 Mustang GT bolt up to a 289 motor in a 65 Ford Fairlane?

I want to replace the 3 spd colum shift trans with a late model 5spd overdrive trans from a Mustang GT, will it bolt up to the 289 motor? or will I need an adaptor? will the clutch work from the Fairlane? or will I need to use the clutch from the Mustang also?

THANKS, Retiredfordtech. I don't have the 5spd yet, I'm going to get it from the junk yard , and needed to know if it would work before I spent the time and money. I didn't think about the yoke style difference, now I know to get the drive shaft and the clutch assembly also.
