I'm not quite sure what you mean by "adapter housing". But...
On the Spitfire (at least the later ones), the OD gearbox has a
different real engine mount *and* a different plate, perhaps 5"x6",
that spans the frame members to support that engine mount. Many
people who do the conversion forget to get the cross-frame plate. Of
course, the original poster is asking about a TR, which is most
certainly different.
