Yes, it is possible.  You will need a cutting torch, several large 
hammers,
and a giant shoe horn.  I just put a 25 spline in my 1960 Sunbeam, 
which
was configured for the standard four speed (10 spline).  The 25 spline
overdirve is longer, and larger in diameter.  I got my front and back 
end
parts from Sunbeam specialties.
Good luck!
