727 and 47rh converter swap

Okay so some of you now know I put in a dana 80 with 3.54 gears in my truck and I only have a 727

My question is can I use my 727 TQ and adapter plate with my 47rh till I can find the correct parts?

I CAN'T STAND these gears without an overdrive. Thank you!!!

The input shaft is different, I don't believe your 727 tq will install on a 47rh.

Thanks guys. I figured the splines on the shaft or something about the shaft wouldn't make it work.

also, if you did that you would probably have to get your driveshafts lengthen/shorten twice.
