What other larger displacement engines have been found to fit the frame?

Oh, I dont want to put anything too big in it.........Say a 77' KZ1000 engine or something :thumb:

No but I would like to get something in the way of a Suzuki 650 or and older GS750 engine I loved the power of my old GS750 well and my 77 KZ but I know there is no way in hell that is going to fit :)

Will have to just find one and mesure it out and see what I am going to have to build if it will fit and line up.

I thought about modding the engine but you will spend twice as much to come up to what a larger engine would produce, IMHO

thanks,

Mike

it would be sweet to use an older inline 4, early 80's gs 750e?
you would just need some wicked brackets  :)
i had a friend put an old kz750 in a go cart, like the off road kind, it was pretty fast.
just make sure to post somthing if you get somthing crazy to work, i'd love to see it.

and good luck!
