TR 5-speed in a Spitfire

["Smith, Brian" <brians@deq.state.la.us>]

Dear All,

I always wondered this, see if you can follow:

The early TR7's and Spitfire 1500 shared the same transmission (ie the   
single rail 4 speed)
The later TR7's got a 5 speed.
so...could a TR7/8 5 speed be adapted to a spitfire 1500 or MkIV. (if you   
changed the clutch to the appropiate # if splines)
Inquiring minds (or bored ones) want to know.
