Short answer...no. The '83 750 engine shrunk in size from prevous years(about 1.5" shorter top to bottom and front to back). But, anything is possible if you want to do some cutting and welding. My plan when I purchased my '83 750es was to do just as you've inquired about, but after test fitting I could not see a way to shoe horn my 1100 engine into the '83 chassis with out modifing the frame. I do have the 1100 engine in an '81 750 chassis which is a direct swap with the exception of the bottom center engine mount.

I personally would pick up the 1100 any way..... If nothing else you triple your money on Ebay or dragbike.com

1100 for $100? I'd buy it just to have on hand. Make it quicker? The usual 4-1 pipe, Jet kit or different carbs. There are others better able to anwser specifics on the perfomance issues. Off hand I know Billy Ricks and oldschoolgs have modded their '85 and '83 respectively and have posted in the past on the specifics. Good luck.
