Apart of course from the gear lever?

Yes, I believe that the Moss gearboxes are the same but the Ace had a hydraulically operated clutch.

The gearstick is different as the ACE had a much shorter stick to clear the dashboard.
The other difference is the actual gear stick turret. On the ACE box is is much shorter than the 2 litre version.
Again, this was to help clearance on the gearbox tunnel. It is also the same as on the Morgan boxes.
Billy Berringer of Morgan fame produced some DRIVELINE versions as I recall.
The Clutch Pedal on a 2 litre joins directly to the cross shaft whereas the ACE is an hydraulic affair.
To use a 2 litre box you have to jig the shaft around a little and get a slave cylinder stay bar.
