you can swap them, but you will need to completely "gut ' both trannys to do the job. The tailshaft is the 1st pc to go into the case!. just a thought.....you might think about a shorten & balance on the D shaft. Good luck,crazyL

A local trans guy quoted me $75 for a gut swap if I had all the parts, but that was a couple of years ago. The 9"-tail stuff is not real easy to find compared to the short stuff, so your old stuff might be worth salting away for later.
