Oh, and I'm surprised by your comment about not finding info on the swap. There are dozens of different threads on this topic.Ed

Correct me if I am wrong, the GS550L was always an 8V motor. This model did not change to the 16V motor in '83.
I have an '84 550L motor and frame here that is an 8V. Only difference from the early engines are the early ones had straight cut primary gears. The later crank and clutch were helical gears.
