Easiest for sure would be the 80-82 KZ750E & 80-83 KZ750H Ltd.
Maybe the KZ750-R1 GPz & ZX750-A models.
An air-cooled ZR750 motor might work, but I'm not sure if the motor mounts line up the same. Their engine numbers begin with KZ750EE (same as the KZ/ZX models mentioned), so one of those ZR750 engines might bolt in.

Yeah like already mentioned most of the 750's listed.
Don't forget the 700 either while you are looking.
You might be able to use the 650's as well however you may have to convert it to electronic ignition using your 750 parts among other things.

I did swap a 750LTD motor into my E but that's been my entire experience with a swap and it was a bolt in..
That was mainly because I had the LTD given to me with low miles but a lot of other issues and no title.
I am planning a top end on the original at some point though.

Like others have said..... what's up with your current engine?

So the old Rocker gets out his bike to make a ton before he takes his leave. Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be. And as he flies --- tears in his eyes ---
his wind-whipped words echo the final take and he hits the trunk road doing around 120 with no room left to brake.
