Likely from a 1969 GT6+. 95 hp (the KD indicating a US-spec engine, slightly
emission controlled and down a bit from the advertised 104 hp of the home
model). 9.25:1 CR according to the Workshop Manual. And it would be a bolt-in
swap with the Spitfire MkIV, provided you want to make all the other changes
necessary (won't fit under a Spit bonnet, etc., etc., etc.).
