Cylinder head for GSX750E

Hello!

My 1980 16valve Gsx750E is missing a cylinder head. I did  a quick search and it looks that those are hard to find nowadays. 

I was thinking that is it possible to fit newer gsx750f oil cooled head to E. Is the cylinder and stud bolt spacings same? 

Oil flow needs work but I have good equipment for machining works.

What do you think, what are biggest show stoppers? 

 

Stud pattern, cam chain size, oil feed etc etc etc 

Have seen someone who put a gsxr1100 head on a big air cooled motor and it was a minefield.

Seems to be bad bad idea. 

Thanks for input

Yeah, but its different here in Finland. Found one with broken cam bearings.

you didn't say where you where, but im sure the supliers here in the UK would send you one over ?  not really sort after here.

Found air cooled head and others parts missing too, transmission, oil pump gears etc. One thing I cant find is Workshop manual.

It's been 15 years since I disassembled the thing so that would be nice to have. Do you guys happen to have that?

I did that - not a minefield but not completely straightforward either, and it did what it was required to do. The turbo install was just for a look, see as the built compression was well north of 13:1. As piccies are always appreciated . . . . .

That's cool! 

I had turbo in mine too, but I had SRAD 750 engine at the time. That engine is now in my classic racing SRAD.
