gsxr 400

[jamie k]

hi guys i have a 1991 gsxr 400 with a rod through the block , i was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative engine that would fit from maybe a bandit 400 etc that would keep ,my carbs exhaust etc save a major build as im just looking for a quick and easy fix on this one as i dont have the time or money for anything extreme

if you have an engine etc that would suit me feel free to pm thanks

Early non V V B4 engine should fit size wise, I think they shared a few components? You might have to check the mountings / loom connections though? Might be a bigger ball ache than just getting a second hand Gsxr400 engine. Why not look at putting in a 600 Gsxr engine instead, they might be cheaper then the 400 due to more available from written off front end shmashes etc. Again don't know about size but I know the bandit engine had a bit of space around it in the frame.

From the outside, B400 and GSX-R400 engines seem to be very much the same, but availability is the other thing.

Didn't someone fit an oil cooled 750 lump into a GK76A some years ago?

I imagine someone has done
