Probably a stupid question....

...but would a gsx 1100 barrels etc fit on a  750 bottom end?

I believe not.

The stud spacing is the same, but the cylinder sleeves would probably not fit into the 750 bottom end (without machining). The 1100 cylinder block will need maching too to the shorten it to suit the shorter 750 studs and shorter 750 stroke.. I believe the wrist pins 750 and (early) 1100 are both 18mm.

Fitting an 1100 engine in your 750 seems like less work.

Yep, certainly sounds like it !!

 

There's a 1100 block on Eblag minus the head, would the 750 head fit?

 

Thanks

I have an 1100 head that is surplus to requirements. Came from Dutch drag racer Erik Jennes

I think the 750 has smaller valves, but also has a smaller combustion chamber so will increase combustion 

Apart from that I have no idea

I think it would. Smaller valves and ports.

As I've got both 750 and 1100 top halves on the shelve in my kitchen workshop I might be able to do further comparisons, but as it far to hot right now to be lifting anything heavy and first move all the stuff stacked in front, I'd rather not.

Cheers guys, there's a 1100 engine minus the head on Eblag that I'm watching, I'll see how it goes,  6 days left yet....
