ZF5 s42

Anyone ever take a zf5 s42 diesel housing and put a zf5 s42 460 internals in it for the lower 1st /reverse and wide ratio?
I have a 95 s42 now but i dont think i will like it for starting out while towing w 4:10s and 35s

I just bought a spare s42 case and have access to a s42 460 trans

I'm not sure if that will work or not. The input shafts for the diesel and the 460 have a different part number. I don't know if the diesel input shaft will work with the 460 countershaft.

The 460 input shaft is different than the diesel input shaft. You should be able to swap it all, but I don't know if the 460 input shaft will mate with the diesel engine and clutch.
