Can some one provide a simple break down of 1100 (1150?) engine parts that are interchangeable between 1980-1983 GS1100s? (Engine only)

Are most of the parts the same on the shafties as the chain drives other than the obvious drive bits?

Here is a short list of what I need to rebuild my 1983 1100.

Head
cylinder
maybe a crank
maybe a transmission (or at least some gears)

This is not a big rush so I am keeping a look out for parts little here little there as I go just not sure what all I can look for.

Are most of the parts between 1980-1983 interchangeable?

Thanks
 
If you do a search there was a thread a while back asking what the differences were between 80-83 GS1100E motors. That list is shorter than what is common.

It would be difficult to list all interchanges between 1150 and 1100 without specifying what you wanna do. Off the top of my head; heads, cams, carbs, and cylinders interchange but some cutting of 1100 cases is required/recommended.
 
Yeah I realize it is kinda a loaded question. I was just looking for the basics like all the cylinders and heads are interchangeable, etc. I did a search and didnt find anything maybe I wasnt typing the right key words. I will try again.

All I am really trying to accomplish is a somewhat stock rebuild even if it is cobbled up parts from different years.

Thanks

ALL of it interchanges EXCEPT you can't mix the 1100 & 1150 clutch hubs with the other's cranks. Call me at 714-356-7845 if you ever have questions about 1100/1150s or need parts. I have LITERALLY, tons of parts! Ask Jim or Bill. Ray.

Ray is right, except for one small detail that was brought out in your earlier question:

The answer here is a resounding NO.
The chain-drive bikes have 16-valve engines, while the shaft-drive bikes have 8-valve engines.
I think the only thing that is interchangeable between them is the oil filter, and I can't really guarantee that. :o
