GS750 1978 engine swap

[Guest]

Hi all. I have the chance to reacquire my old 1978 GS750.......the first big bike I owned.
However, it comes as several boxes of bits. It is complete but the original engine is not there.
The replacement id in poor condition so would be a a complete rebuild I suspect.
Before I buy this though I need to check the engine will fit.
The original engine was s/n 32092
vin/chassis is 16243
Engine supplied is 65552.

I've searched the site and various links but am not sure I'm reading the details correctly.

It looks to me that the frame number is a 1977 as the 1978 numbers start at 32604
Same for the engine as the 78 starts at 42761

The engine I have........65552 so looks like a 78 model as they start at 42761?

This is assuming I am reading the table correctly.

Suzuki UK were unable to help as they say no logs exist.

I can't see that there would be any issue looking at the engine mounting points but experience has
taught me to check before I buy..!!

I would welcome any input from those with any knowledge on this before I spend the money

Dug out an old photo....my GS750 back in 1989 set up for a trip to Hanover in Germany.
Ended up a solo trip as my 2 friends weren't allowed to go.
