Cb900c top cb750 bottom

Anyone ever try to bolt a dohc cb900c top end to a cb750 bottom?

Wondering what all has to be swapped for the best outcome. Crankshaft, rods, ??? Or is it simply just the pistons to the cb750 rods, and bolt on the cb900 cyclinders and head?

Basically can it be done without opening to the 750 case?

I already have a 1980 cb750f motor and found a good deal on a cb900c motor. Wondering if I can marry the too and get close to the power of a cb900 without the high low transmission.

There was someone oh here a few years ago that was working on this same thing. I know that there was a lot of work involved in it, and I think he finely just swapped the 750 transmission into the 900 engine. This allowed him to use the chain drive, and eliminated the two speed trans housing.

Swapping the transmission sounds like a better plan.

And you only need to turn the engine over to remove the bottom case half. No need to disassemble the whole engine.

Easiest thing would be to find a 900f motor, direct bolt into a 750 frame.

It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

Re: Cb900c top cb750 bottom

true and that's what I wanted to do but I've not been able to find one so I picked up a cheap 750 motor and just found another cheap 900c motor I was thinking about getting.
