If you put a carb on the hemi, neither the 46RH, or the 46RE will do you any good, as there won't be anything to control 4th gear/tcc lockup. As a matter of fact, the 46RE wouldn't work at all, as there would be nothing to control governor pressure either. You might be able to find a standalone system to deal with it, but, I wouldn't bet real heavily on that.

If carbed and adapted to the 46RH will work with the info or a kit from PATC.

The 46RH and 46RE have bigger differences than just the valve body. The 46RH has a mechanical governor on the output shaft while the 46RE uses a computer controlled governor.

Where does the OP say he wants to put a carb on it? I think he was just pointing out the fact in the link he provided, that , the company that makes the adapter for the trans, makes that also.

Could be.

I think mixing and matching parts from different generation trucks is going to cause some undue pain and strain though. The 2nd gen PCM won't run the hemi, and the 3rd gen PCM won't run the 46RE......

Remember when you could swap engines, transmission, and other things as long as it would bolt up - before computer?

Those were the days. Still love those 50's and 60's cars.....

You would have to buy a new overdrive unit for 46rh,
it has mechanical govenor in it 46re does not.
Need valve body for 46rh. The valve body has tubes that run to the govener in the overdrive unit.
Not sure what else right off hand. Thats enough I would just buy rh from junkyard and rebuild it myself.
Seems it would be cheaper.
Oh and the rh only uses 3 pin case connector where as the re use 8 pin connector.


You also need this kit
PATC 727 to 518 Conversion Kit


#727518. With these four parts you can convert your 727 transmission to a 518 overdrive transmission with locking torque converter. Lets say you drive an average of 400 highway miles per week, at that rate you could save as much as $1000.00 per year on gas, not to mention the 31% reduction in RPM. Your new 518 will have automatic shifts into overdrive and lock-up, no toggle switch needed. Now with adjustable vacuum switch. The instructions are at the bottom of this page. Cost $85.00

heck ou this link for Qty
ch
ALso check out this link for complete details http://www.transmissioncenter.net/SwapInformation.htm.
You can download the service manuals for the 95 and 96 fom the FAQ's section to compare the 2 transmissions.
95 used rh 96 uses re.

Torqueflite A-727 transmissions should bolt up ok. When using a 727 tranny, you will need to use the older starter and cut the ring-gear off the HEMI flexplate.
