I'll insert my personal opinion on the 1000s. The 79-80 is the strongest, best KZ1000 engine. This includes the MKII and shaft, 1980 only on the LTD and Z1R. The 77-79 LTD and 77-78 KZ1000s and 78 Z1R were second best, the 81-up J coming in last. Yes the J was the fastest, but also the most fragile and weakest of the KZ1000 line in the real world.
I agree with Ron about the 79-80 shaft motors. They seem to have the thickest castings and more "ribs" in the lower case. You just need to convert them to chain drive and you can go as big as you want. Or you can just a set of these and make all the power you can afford.
