I have a TR6 box in my GT6.  The only difference between the gearboxes =
is two extra flange bolts on the Tr6 bellhousing, for which holes can =
easily be drilled on the plate.  the rear of the engine block is =
identical and the  plate bolts right up as the blocks are essentially =
the same (a bit more block stiffening in sides of the later TR6 blocks, =
I think).  Starter lines right up on the same flywheel.
Can=E2=80=99t speak for Spitfire.

This is all from memory. Hope it is helpful.
