Hi Rick,
The TR6 and the GT6 share the same block but that is where it ends as far as
the engine is concerned. The TR6 has a deeper crank and shorter stroke to
give the extra 1/2 litre of combustion space. The front cross member on the
GT6 would interfere with the oil pan. Unless frame mods are in your sights,
i can not see it going in. Now, there is probably a really intelligent
builder out there that has done this and may provide extra data.
Good luck
