L series Bellhousing Question

Hey guys,

Just a quick question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I just wanted someone to reassure me.

The bellhousings for diesels in the Gen1 (79-83) VS the diesels in the Gen3 (89-97) do they have the same pattern?
Ie: could you put a G52/W56/R151 etc straight onto the Gen1 motor and vice-versa could you put a L40 straight onto a 2.8 (3L) in the Gen3??

Pretty sure I'm up to speed but just wanted to count for sure.

I bolted up a 2.4 diesel motor [2l]to a 4speed box [l], in my early silver bullet 81model so saying yes.
Was after 2002 tuff truck [many beers ago], but would say yes..

I've interchanged g52 box's between my 2.8 and 3.0L a few times using 2.4 box's, its the petrol g52 i had to swap the bell housing on.
