    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok so here this weekend thanks to a fellow GSr I'll be taking delivery on a 80 750..Top end is probably shot, and I had thought to maybe rebuild it, but then i also started thinking, i know that the head wont match up to my 77 ( 8 valve vs 16 etc) but what about the guts of the crank case? What from the 80 would be interchangeable with my 77? or are they completely different to the point where nothing is the same?? Any thoughts??

Thanks!!

Schematics

I guess you could compare the schematics and figure it out pretty easily. My guess is that they are completely different.
 
Very little will interchange -- the engines, frames, electrics, instruments, and braking systems are all different between the 8 and 16 valve models. There are lots of common bits and pieces here and there, like seals, bolts, and such, but none of the major systems are interchangeable.
