Will a 750 motor fit an 1150 frame

[Anonymous]

I have the opportunity to get an 83' 750 motor for free.
My 1150 motor is dead - cracked cyl wall - and I can't find a good 1150 motor. Will the motor mounts line up? Or are there other unforseeable problems I don't know of.

I think that it would since it seems like everything else is the same.....But I am just guessing

The '80 thru. '82 engine should fit no problem but the '83-'85 GS750E is a completely different animal. That engine was a newer, more compact design and I doubt that it would be direct or easy swap.

Thanks for the info - I still haven't got the motor yet - I will update you on the progress.

Shouldn't be that big of a deal. The '83 750 shared alot of castings with the 1150. Head casting was the same with different machine work; bigger ports, valves, etc. I think you will find the two motors pretty similar dimension wise. I have an '85 700 I can give you some measurements off of if it will help. Same as the 750 motor. One thing that won't work is the exhaust. The 1150 has larger diameter pipes. I have a complete stock exhaust and a Kerker K2 if you get to needing one.

What are you going to do with the 1150 motor? I may be interested in it.
