Chris,
I doubt you'll be able to use anything other than a RD51 drive - as
this ancient V7M doesn't yet support newer drive types. You might
be able to put some of the system files on an RL02 - but I haven't confirmed
there's a RL02 boot loader on this kit.
Back in 1983 the PDP-11/23-PLUS was a relatively *new* machine. There's
later versions of Ultrix-11 (V2 and later) that added support for the 11/73
and bigger drives - look on the Unix Heritage Society site under Unix
Archive. There's a downloadable installation tape for Ultrix-11 there.
