83model to 82model crankshaft swap
I am thinking of upgrading to a 83 gs1100 large end crank into a 82 gs1100 small end crank engine. The 83 is complete with starter clutch, gear, rotor etc. What is needed to install the 83 in an 82, Like will we need a new stator, and, L.H. crankcase cover or any thing else. A little off base here just for personal info I have a Falicon 82 billet small end installed now on my daily driver 1168 cc 348 cams.$249 from Falicon but out of stock at this time and said they are in the process of building some small ends now. Honestly I have not bent or twisted one yet, out of 3 that I have installed in the past, in mine and customers with good luck so far. I believe it is a good upgrade for the small end cranks. Anyway. But a customer has a 83gs1100 crank recently rebuilt, with the 493 rods, new rod bearings, main bearings, welded. trued, balanced etc. He got it for cheap in exchanging some parts and has had several offers but would really like to keep it and run it his self. So I thought I would ask the experts first before dropping a bunch more bucks and see if it is worth the change. He is wanting a low compression ,mild cam 1260 cc daily driver. Any help is appreciated in letting us know what we are in for. Thanks to all.Last edited by gs11ezrydr; 03-10-2014, 08:54 AM.sigpic 82 gs1100ez 1168 Wiseco,Web .348 Cams,Falicon Sprockets,Star Racing Ported Head,1mm o/s Stainless Valves,APE Springs,Bronze Guides,etc.APE Billet Tensioner,36CV Carbs,Stage 3 Dynojet,Plenum w/K&N filter,Trued,Welded,Balanced,Crank w/Katana rods & Billet left end, FBG backcut trans, VHR HD Clutch basket,APE nut,VHR High volume oil pump gears,1150 Oil cooler,V&H Megaphone header w/Competition baffle,Dyna S,Coils,Wires,etc.Other misc.mods.Tags: None

I know the Katana motor needs the rotor, stator, crankcase cover etc. doing to everything being smaller diameters, I don't think the 1100 e motors need all those changes. I will go on-line with Suzuki Connect here a little later and do a parts comparison. I know I wanted to go to the Kat parts a few years ago when a friend was wanting to vintage road race and install all the lighter and smaller parts, and it was extremely costly and some parts were discontinued If I believe correctly.sigpic 82 gs1100ez 1168 Wiseco,Web .348 Cams,Falicon Sprockets,Star Racing Ported Head,1mm o/s Stainless Valves,APE Springs,Bronze Guides,etc.APE Billet Tensioner,36CV Carbs,Stage 3 Dynojet,Plenum w/K&N filter,Trued,Welded,Balanced,Crank w/Katana rods & Billet left end, FBG backcut trans, VHR HD Clutch basket,APE nut,VHR High volume oil pump gears,1150 Oil cooler,V&H Megaphone header w/Competition baffle,Dyna S,Coils,Wires,etc.Other misc.mods.
