Are the series 3 6cylinder and 4cylider gearboxes different in anyway other than the bellhousing?!

the front bearing are in the bell housing which is also part of the gearbox casing, on the 6 cylinder and the ratios are different. According to this months LRW mag. your better off fixing the 6 cylinder box because by the time ya've stripped it down to get the bell housing to fit your half way to a complete overhaul any way.
