I Have a 82 GS 750T. Will a 1000 or a 1100 motor bolt right in? Need some more HP for the strip!
 
You will need different motor mounts...it might be cheaper and easier to just buy a GS1100 and put the side panels from your 750 on there (if you want to keep everyone thinking you still have a 750).

750/1100 Engine Swap

Thanks Hap, Just wondered if it would bolt in. The wife probably wouldn't appreciate me buying another bike. I gota get some Lottery tickets or something

The 16valve 1100 will bolt right in with only the bottom engine mount not matching up. So you would have an option of either fabricating an engine mount or leaving it off which is what I did on mine after being advised from a friend who roadraced one back in the '80's. 8 yrs and about 40k miles later I've not noticed it missing.

Curious.... considering the weight, niether the 750 nor the 1100 engines can be removed and replaced by hand. (at least not by me) How did you go about swapping the engines into the frame?

Visualize a monkey and greased basketball then read on. I have a wooden box built that is close in height to the bottom frame tubes which I place the engine on(sometimes with a little help), then I slide the box close to the frame and slowly ease(tilt) the engine onto the tube(protected) with some cardboard, 'til it's balanced and slowly work the engine between the tubes and then with a floor jack and wood block under the oil pan I position engine into place and bolt up. It is much easier if I have another person helping, but I have R/R several inline 4's using this method and working alone.
 
Yeah when I switched from an 850 to a 1000, I got myself and 2 others to move it in, it was not fun, but the good thing about a s engine is you can drop it and not really hurt anything.

Re: 750/1100 Engine Swap?? Dan G.

Thanks Dan. That sounds do-able by myself. Lemme see now, 7-11 conversion, bolt up the turbo, jet carbs for nitro and go lookin for Hawee's. :-) :-) :twisted:

Thanks Dan....I can build a box, I have the tools....I have the technology. Just need a motor. Steve
 
I tyrap newspaper around my frame rails to keep them from getting scratched when pulling or installing an engine. Also it is easier to put the engine in without the head on (or cylinders for that matter).
