swapping early 3.09 1st into later case

You lost me
What I am referring to is am I better off taking the gears out of the older case and using them in the later case and retaining the later style interlock side cover or use the older ball/detent style. Additionally, what synchros should/can I use older or newer? I'm planing on rebuilding the transmission. Sorry did not meet to take over the thread!
