Yes, that's fine. The original was 5.6 ohms. Note that a regular power resistor is not the same as the original fusistor. A fusistor is designed to blow open like a fuse if current is excessive. A regular resistor will get hotter and hotter but not open up until it's really roasting.

I suggest adding a fuse in series with it. 1 or 2 amp slo blow should do it.
