    1150 tranny into a 1100E motor???possible???

    Just a hypothetical question. While Jethro and I were shooting the sh@t Sunday, I mentioned that with all of the parts that interchange between the 2 motors,heads,cams,oil coolers and such....would it be possible to put a 6 speed tranmission from a 1150 into a 1100E motor??? :? :? :?
    The idea of a 6 speed is nice. Just didn't know the feasability of it. Not that I am going to try. Just a point to ponder.
    Realisticly it would probably be easier just putting a 1150 motor into the frame 8O :?

    Doug, my 1150E has a 5 speed transmission. I dont believe there were any 1150's built with 6 speed trannys. With the torque of the 1150, I see no reason it would benefit from 6 speeds.

    I believe the transmissions are the same though.

      Well, I'll be dammed! I thought the 1150's had a 6 speed changer too.

      Yesterday on my way home from VT, I was on route 89 doing 110. The tach showed 7k. I could easily cruise at 120 comfortably if I had another cog. That is until I got arrested and had my license torn to shreds!
