    Is a 1988 gsx1100 engine a direct drop in for 1100e frame?

    I got a lead on an 1988 1100 engine and wondering if it is a direct bolt in for the 82 1100e? It looks like it has more power on demand so I was just curious.

    It fits; look in the projects for examples.

      It looks like it's some minor wiring (you'll need an electric tach), an oil cooler, and some custom motor mounts. Otherwise it seems pretty straight forward

        Thanks guys. This may be a good engine to buy (if cheap enough) and fix up to sit waiting for if ever my stock enginine detonates.

          They're shorter in length. To use the rear mounts as the stock motor does' the exhaust won't reach. Too far forward and chain will rub swingarm. Have to make your own mounts. It's been done alot.
