Chassis swap questions (KZ750 twin)

Hello, I've tried to search but haven't found the answer I'm looking for. Will the KZ750 twin engine fit into any of the other KZ/GPZ 4 cylinder chassis'?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

If you are willing to do a whole lot of work it will :)

The 750 twin motor is a lot taller than the 750 four motor, so you would have to raise the frame main tube.

I tried it once.

So you put a 4 cylinder into a twin frame? What size engine did you use?
