Diesel C6

Hello, I am looking to replace the C6 in a '78 Bronco with a 351M. I've had the hardest time finding a short output tranny, but now I'v located one from a 85 diesel F250.

I've heard the some of the diesels used the same bolt pattern as big block gassers (335 and 385 series blocks). Is this true?

Are there any internal differences between a gas C6 and a diesel C6?
