will it fit?

[Bud Merrill]

will a 1980 16v 1100l motor fit into an 83 1100e frame?, i have roughly measured and it does look like it will, but so many of you guys have done similar swaps someone should know, thanks

I'm not an expert but I think the engine is basically the same other than details on the inside.

Yup it fits

yup it fits fine, but the "80" motor is the wrong color.

yeah, but the wheels and speedo are already on my 82, the only cosmetic thing will be the foot pegs,and I am hoping to do the gsxr swap in the not to distant future.

80 v.s. 83 16V GS1100

108 vs. 111 hp
20 vs. 24 bolt pattern on valve cover
hour glass vs. square breather cover
small vs large end crank
not vs. welded crank
smaller cams on 80
chrome steel v.s. cast aluminum cam end cap side covers
yea slower color
valve seat details (if I got that right)


can't think of anything else

Bill?
