Std 1600/1750/2000 105 Gearboxes interchangeable?

Hi,

I have a question about the inside of the Std 1600/1750/2000. Do they have the same ratios and are the internals interchangeable between themselves?

I ask because I own a 1750 and I want to buy spare gearboxes to canabalise gears and any other good bits to build a fresh box. 1750 is very rare where I am. there are plenty of 1600 and 2000 around. So I have access to a few cheap 105 boxes but the mechanic tells me that the ratios are different on the inside??

I hope to canabalise enough parts (primarily gears/synchros sleeves and dog teeth gears/bearings/etc) to make a good box plus with enough gears to experiment with lightening them so that even if I killed a couple of them I will still have 1 good std box (thats the hope anyway!!)

Greatly appreciate any input on this. Thanks!

Thanks!
