Should be a 63 TR4, I believe.

AFAIK, the block castings are identical.  You'll need to swap the front
plate from your old engine; and of course keep the main caps from the new
engine but I believe everything else should interchange.

Don't forget to look at things like cam bearings, and the bushing that
carries the oil pump drive shaft.
