Big difference is the oil pan and oil pump pickup.
You can change just the pan to clear the Midget frame, but the Spit oil pump pickup will starve for oil even in slow turns if it isn't swapped.

What Nial said. Mine has a Spitfire oil pickup installed for some reason, but I'm pretty sure it's the original engine. I discovered it when I went to investigate why my oil pressure dropped if I stopped hard. Now I make sure I keep the oil topped up and it's fine.
