I would like to know if the engines are the same between an '82 GS 750 and a '79-'80 GS 750? Thanks, Mike

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.

If it's got rectangular cam end covers, it's a 16 valve,if they're round, it's an 8 valve, they should swap fine
Re: GS 750 Engine interchange question
The engine mounts between those years are all the same. However, starting with 1980, the carbs were 32 mm CV's instead of the earlier 26 or 28mm (I forget which size) VM style. Therefore, the airbox boots on a 79 will be too small to fit over the 32mm CV carbs. You will need to modify the airbox to accept the 32mm boots. You will not be able to simply install a later model airbox as it will not fit the 79.

Re: GS 750 Engine interchange question
What you could do is get an airbox from a 1980 or later GS850GT or GS1000GT. This is the same as the 77-79 750 box, but has the larger carb boots. This does work, I've done it.
