G56 Conversion????

It’s only a matter of time before my nv4500 goes BANG again. I have had 2 nv4500 in this truck I tow a lot and never use 5th . I considered swapping in an nv5600 but with all that is going on with them the nv5600 is no longer an option I also considered an auto swap but after driving some auto diesels that’s not going to happen either. I can get a G56 out of a friends totaled 3rd gen. Is the G56 bell housing the same bolt pattern as the nv4500 or will I need the engine adapter plate that bolts to the block? is the flywheel bolt pattern the same? What about the np241 HD will it bolt to the g56? I’m just trying to get some information on what all I will have to do to do the swap, has any one done the swap in a 2nd gen? The G56 is free if I want it so I figure it’s worth a try.
