Default 1500 Transmission help

Is it possible to swap the 47RE off the V-10 into my 5.9?
If not, what would be the best upgrade to strengthen my tranny? I was thinking the rebuild kit, new bands and a shift kit? I read that a 4.2 band lever would be a good addition, true?
Speaking of shift kit's, any suggestions for a good one?

The bolt pattern is different, so no, it's not possible.

PATC Mega Viper, APS Precision... any of the high dollar ultra-rebuilds will be good lol.





Or swap in an NV4500.

Well that sucks, I was really hoping on not having to dig into the transmission.
I'd love to swap in a manual... but that is a little more work than what I have the time and space for, oh well.

I'll search that up, thanks. What about the bigger band lever and a shift kit?
