97 dakota transmission compatability

Hi all. I have a 97 Dakota with a 3.9ltr. Auto 2x4. (42RE I believe). Can I use a 97 Ram 1500 5.9 ltr 46RE trans? Direct swap? TIA

The 42RE case is a touch shorte than the 46RE case. It will physically fit but the driveshaft may or may not be a touch too long.
