1985 vf500 engine swap help

I just recently purchased a 1985 vf500 and was given the motor off of a 1987 vfr700. I was wondering what modifications I would have to make for the new motor to fit and if the carbs from the 500 would work. Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Only a very few good ideas can be realized in any practical way, not this one.:eek-new:

 

firstly the carbs won't fit, secondly, a lot of work is in your future if you do this, and thirdly, didn't you already do a thread about this?

 

Exactly. You would essentially need to fabricate a new frame. The VFR700 is the larger block and is very similar to the VF700/750 and VF1000 engines. They are MUCH larger, the little 500 frame doesn't have enough room for it.
