Gs550s 78 550 to 82 550

[prichmon]

Has anyone done a later engine swap on a 550?

I have a 78 550 which is finally giving up. It has dyna s ignition. System and rest stock.

Can I just swap intake boots, exhaust and carbs and such to the newer engine? Or is there a a lot more to the swap?

Thanks

RR

There will be a lot more depending on the year you went to. The 80-82 use a different style of carburetor than the earlier models so at least the intake boots, air cleaner, and carbs would need to change.

Let me know if you need much help. I'm out in Dayton but my daughter lives in Newark and we're there quite often. In fact, her 81 550L is out there with her
