76 merc 50 hp short to long shaft conversion

I have a mid seventies 50 hp short shaft merc motor and a spare, tired old '76 merc long shaft lower unit.<br />Can I use parts from the old long shaft lower unit to make the short shaft motor into a long shaft motor? If it can be done, can anyone tell me what parts need to be changed? Sure would appreciate a response.
