Paul, Yes, you can use the full synchro gearbox but you will have to shorten the driveshaft (or use one specifically made for that gearbox. When the synchro for first gear was added, the gearbox was lengthened slightly.
The ratios are the same except for fitst gear. The early boxes has a first ratio of 3.75:1 but was changed to 3.5:1 in later full synchro boxes.
