GS 1000 in to GS(X) 750?

[Anonymous]

Just a thought .... will a GS 1000/2 valve engine fit in an '80 GS(X) 750/4 valve frame?

Sad but true; I'm allways scanning my options so if I run into a good GS engine I'd like to know if it'll fit.

You'd be much better off looking for a GS(X) 1100 motor. This would only require minor mods. The other consideration is power. The Suzuki 4 Valve head is a great design - your 750's power output is probably very close to the stock 2 valve 1000 motor. A 4 valve 1100 is significantly more powerful than it's 2 valve predecessor. They seem to be more common & parts availibility is better.

Yeah, I know. I'd really like to fit an EFE engine but the 4 valve 1100's are hard to come by (in Holland that is). And like I said, it's just a thought ... :roll:

If you can wait until saturday, I'll measure one of my spare 1000 motors & post the info.

As threatened, here's some measurements taken from an old set of GS1000 cases.
356mm long (measured between front and rear top motor mounts)
238mm wide (at top front motor mounts}
165mm wide {at top rear mount}
132mm wide (at bottom rear)
298mm wide (at mid bottom)
470mm tall (mid mount to highest point of engine)
280 mm (distance between mid mount & bottom rear mount)
190mm (diagonal distance between mid & top front mount)
All measurements taken from sprocket side.
