Since you asked - here's my two-penneth!
I put a 1200EFE engine in my GS frame and I realised that the engine sat much closer to the front of the cradle than the original engine had. In many ways this is a good thing, but depending on the exact angle and the mounts you use, it may throw up a few interesting alignment issues.
So in the pics attached you'll see what I mean: the EFE engine sits maybe an inch an a half closer to the frame.

Is the gsx750 engine that you're putting in the gs is it a oil cooled or air cooled motor?
As to your question, what you looking for?
Any of the 750 oil cooled heads will go on (depending on how far back you put a oil cooled motor in a gs frame)
The b6 and gsx600f will fit the 750 gsxf/gsxr motors.
The b12 and gsxr/gsxf 1100 will also fit but they are a bit longer in the down pipes.
The only thing you mite find, is you may need to swop sumps, but if you do make sure you change the oil pick up to suit the sump
Looking forward to seeing the project builds on these
gsx engine is oil cooled , the gs started out as just a frame lol and gsx was cobbled together with bits missing gonna be fun to build had about 5 different front ends on so far

no its stuck in the engine part mount plate moves
-
As title say bloody thing is stuck solid best suggestions to get it out using wd 40 tried turning with a socket and breakers bar any help would be great
-
Just gotta get the engine in the right place front mounts for ease or rear mount would be more work but looks better any opinions ?

Bit more done
-
Well the gs shaftie has gone to a new home So just started new build 1977 gs750 bit more satisfying when you spray the bit yourself ok might not be best job but feels good

Ill look at my 550 frame which is an L on frame its stamped gs550E apparently there where a few variants E, L, T, M Katana
-
They are so different from one to the other I bought gs 550 tank and don't fit my 550,750,or 850 frame don't think your frame is 750 as it's braced where the last coil mount fits here is my 750 frame similar to yours

Cheers for that Jonny im ditching the gsx750 engine for the gs. Going to get another gsxr750 and put that in when can sort the mounting plates out keep getting the wrong ones.
Even the ones i bought for the gs dont fit
