hey, i have a 79 GS1000 and i picked up a basket case 82 GS1000. I was wondering if there's any advantage (or even if i can) use the carbs from the 82 on my 79.

Nope....... -
There are many other differences between the two bikes, too.
First of all, there was no GS1000 in '82.
The last GS1000 would have been an '81 GS1000G (shaft-drive), your '79 GS1000 would have been chain-drive.
I do know that the head from the '80 GS1000E (and S) was the same as the head on the GS1000G (shaft-drive), but I don't know if they would fit on an earlier block, all of which would have been chain-drive bikes.
In other words, if the newer head fits the older block, the only way to use the newer carbs would be to change the head, too.
