Reg,

While the two units are identical internally, the rear case on the TR7
unit is different (the aluminum part that the prop comes out of), and
the ratios are totally off.  The input shaft also might be different. 
Now the factory did make a prototype Spitfire with the Slant-4 (TR7)
engine back in the mid-'60's, so that's always an option...  :)

Later,
Brian
