GSX750E-Engine Replacement

[Christos32]

hello guys,

Can you please advise which engines from earlier models fir to my GSX-E 750 1981?
My engine face a prob with camshafts and i was thinking whether i should go for an engine replacement instead of fixing the existing one.

Can i fit another engine from earlier models without any major modifications?

Rgrds,
Christos

I am certainly no expert but I'd think your best bets would be later not earlier engines i.e. '82,'83, 84 etc. I suppose earlier engines could work but you would then be looking at 8 valve units ( yours is a 16 vlave is it not?).

I would think these newer engines would still bolt right in but perhaps you might need to fabricate a bracket or two. I'm not really sure but most anything can be made to fit & work.

Hopefull a more knowledgeable engine swap guru will have the exact answer shortly.

Good luck with it.

cheers,
Spyug

hello spyug,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry for my mistake, i meant later model and not earlier.

Yes it is a 16 valve air cooled engine.

I think 80-82 GS750E's are all basically the same 16V engine. Later engines are a bit different but not sure all of what.

I think that is correct .. 83 the engine dimensions were a bit narrower I have read.

There's a ton of stuff that will phisicaly fit in the frame with varying degrees of work but keeping it suzuki gs 750/1000, 1100 efe, gsx1100, gsx750 es gsxr750/1100 slabby, gsxr 750/1100 slingshot, gsx1100F

roughly speaking all the air cooled stuff is simple & the later oil cooled stuff requires a bit more work
