Default advice needed on gear box IB5

I currently run a BC box on my fiesta cvh race car, i have had a lot of engine issues this year and will be going to a Zetec SE(sigma), my BC box has quaife gear kit and diff, i was hoping these would transfer into the IB5 box ??? has anyone done this or know if the inards are interchangeable ?
a friend of mine sucsessfully transfered RST inards into an Ib5

regards in advance

I seem to recall you can swap the bell-housings over, thus retaining the BC 'box. I'll have a google!

Just had a google and apparently they're a straight swap? It's the starter location that changes.
