Just wondering can I put a 1981 kz 1100 engine in a 1984 GPZ750 frame. Is it a boatload of work.

I think I remember reading that there are some 'logistics' issues with maintenance...e.g. the motor must be pulled to check valve clearances (the valve cover cannot be removed once the motor is in the frame).
