Its a TR3 engine with long nose starter and a late TR4A cylinder head & 
valve cover.

How well it went depended upon what pistons were installed.  The TR4 
head had larger combustion chambers for the larger pistons.  If it had 
86 or 87 mm pistons  it likely went well enough that when she drives the 
TD with a stock engine it would feel like some one made off with one of 
the new engine's cylinders
