Since the GSXR is a little narrower, but a little taller I suspect yes, but I dont know the first thing about doing it other than going out and measuring

If impatient go look at OSS, they probably have a brief guide.

Yes, it will fit but you'll need to make new engine mounts.

Not to mention the electrical system, coils, etc. which you also need from the GSXR.

Has been done a zillion times. I suggest going to http://oldskoolsuzuki.info. Pretty common conversion over there.

Or contact Waltari. He made his own mounts for a B12 engine (same basic motor) which does not interfere with the petcock and mounts the motor farther forward.
