You can have some popcorn! LOL 
Not really. The 47 was designed for the V10 and the Cummins, but you can rebuild a 46 to 47 specs as far as toughness goes, but it could be a lot of money...

BUT....some of the hard parts for the 47RE fit into the 46RE case, such as six gear planetary gear set, Direct clutch drum (more frictions) and a few others I cannot recall. So you can get some upgrades thte 46.....

Ok, here's what I got.
My trans issue came up 2 days after I bought my truck 2 and a half years ago. I bought it knowing the trans was bad and needed to be replaced, but I wanted to drive it a little bit. Tried to take it on the highway and it wouldn't go into overdrive or lock-up. So I got off and started to head for home. Now on surface streets the trans would not downshift on it's own. If I shifted into the gear 1 lockout I could get the trans back into first and it would up shift fine. A mile later I was accelerating from a stoplight, felt a horrible, violent shaking, then a huge bang and what I could only describe as pop cans and in blender. I lost forward momentum. Tried to put it into first and I could move in first gear but nothing higher. I was 10 miles from home and it was mid-day. So I waited until midnight and drove the truck all the way home in first gear doing 20 MPH. Pulled the trans myself and brought it to the shop for a bench job, the guys there did not believe I had first gear and reverse with how bad the insides were chewed up. The trans couldn't be rebuilt because the break had damaged the insides of the case. Got a junk yard trans rebuilt and the truck has been running great ever since.

Well ours pulled 15# and didn't burn up... Well kinda... It did eventually... Guess it wasn't designed for that.
