I have an 85 vf700f interceptor and need to replace the engine. I found this really sweet engine (racing engine), but it is an 85 vf1000r engine. Can I swap out my engine with this engine or will there be major consequences? Please any help would be awesome. Thanx
anything can be done.......... but you should find a 700 to go back in.... it also depends on if the bike is truely worth it. you might be better off looking for something a little newer......rather than sinking money into it... BTW........whats wrong with the engine?
The R engine would fit... kind of. Once in place, the rear cam cover cannot be removed. I'm also thinking that one of the front two mounts doesn't line up, but I can't remember for sure. I agree that unless you really want something custom then getting a VF700F engine is the best idea. Good luck!
Your bike has to be at least an 84. That was the first year for the 700's. An 83-85 750 or 84/85 700 will fit. Same exact cases and basic motor. Agree with Jamie on which engine. Where do you live? Interested in selling your old motor?
I cant sell it there is a hole in the engine block the hole is about 4 inches long and 1 and a half inches wide. Also will the 1000r fit the 700 frame both are 85
