Joes transmission in pa sells input shafts for the 273. It's real easy to swap.

Iirc the speed sensors are in the driveshaft and differential, I don't remember one in the tc. It takes a little electric trickery to get the electric motor to work without the transmission, I used the shift selector from the auto removed from the transmission and manually shifted into neutral. That was for a 4r100, no idea about the 5r110

If I did it again I would use a manual case, but I did end up getting the electric motor to work reliably

 

Are you using an NV5600, or a G56?

 

Honestly, I would buy a wiring diagram and get real cosy with it if you want everything to work after you are done.

 

I'm pretty sure the speed sensor is in the t case output. I haven't climbed under it to look yet, but from what i am reading, it is

I'm using a G5600 trans. I want to keep the electric shift, just because I want everything to be as close to factory look as possible. I do know that that there are two wires I need to jump to make the Ford ECM think it is in neutral, for the crank circuit to work, and for the electric shift to go to 4 low.

I think I have all of that figured out, It looks like the 271/273D input shaft will just drop into the Ford 273 t case.

 

yes you can swap the inputs and no, there is no speed sensors in either dodge or ford 271/273.

the ford is the SLIGHTLY better tcase to use because its a fixed rear output.

wtf is a g5600?

nv5600 aluminum bell iron case

g56 all aluminum

 

good possibility the 5r110 273 is a little different of the 4r100 273

 

Just swap the inputs between the two and then figure out your wiring and you should be good. I think the clocking is slightly different but a clocking ring would be simple enough to put it however you like.

Just have a good set of snap ring pliers for swapping inputs. The rest is pretty simple.
