    GS750E 16v head onto GS750B 8v engine

    I have just acquired a damaged bike with the GS750E prefix on the frame number but it is extremely difficult to read the rest (I think it says GS750E 707083) and I am not sure of the year model (thinking 1979).

    I want to know if someone could tell me the performance gains and if it is possible to change the heads over to my old engine as it has already been fitted with the wiseco 850bb kit and is in very good order otherwise.

    The 8V and 16V heads do not interchange, they're completely different motors

    1979 GS 1000 (The Fridge, superbike replica project)
    1978 GS 1000 (parts)
    1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
    1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
    1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)

      Thanks for that I thought that I remembered seeing something a few years back saying that they were not interchangeable but after searching I couldnt find anything
