I have a quick question I recently found a 1992 GSXR 1100 motor that has thousands of dollars
Worth of work done to it was used in one of the Roundy round race cars from what I was told some of the rules in that type of racing has changed and they have to use stock motors now and I can buy it CHEEP
( I can hear it run and do a compression test ect . ) I was wondering If I could stuff that motor into a 78 or 79 GS1000 frame without major modifications
Thanks Anthony
 
you need to measure the total height of your GSXR engine

the back bone may need to be adjusted.

sorry maybe you should define major modifications because it is not going to slip right in.

there is going to be cutting and special mount plates fabrication. sprocket alignment is the next hurdle. exhaust will be a problem as well.

Actually, with the motor mount plate patterns available at OLDSKOOLSUZUKI.COM the GSXR motor IS a bolt in. No height or exhaust issues either. Ray.

GS for everybody

GS for everybody

I have been good this winter and have only been
Concentrating on my drag project. I came across a couple more GS models
This winter another 1100 & 1150 but not ready to show them off quite yet .
I have all the parts to Get the gs1000?s finished but it also is on the back burner.
The GSXR Motor has been hammered on for sure, but it would be a hell of a back up
motor for my drag bike everything that can be done to this motor has been done
Recipes for over 5 grand from head to pan . How does $500.00 dollars sound
Ya it caught my attention too !! There is 500 in dyna parts alone so if it needs Rings and a valve job (i will be sure to find out with a compression and leak down test first )I think it would be a great deal as long as it would fit

F man snatch that thing up
 
what kinda job is it to put a gsxr head ( around 1988 ) on a gs1100e? cant seem to get straight answers on yes it works good or not? any help ?
 
I am currently doing a similar project. I am installing a gsxr oil motor in a 82 gs750e the rear mounts line right up although its narrower than the gs some spacers take care of that. The front however required making new brackets between frame and motor and some spacers. There's plenty of room it actually went in easily. Easier than the old gs
