A V8 Scania engine will fit if you spend enough time and money on the project. :lol: :lol: :lol:

SPEED IS JUST A QUESTION OF MONEY...HOW FAST DO 'YOU' WANT TO GO?

I hate people I don't like !

A very good chance it will, Z650, Z750, GPZ 750 inc turbo, Zephyr750 and ZR750 are all same basic design, crankcases changed slightly with GPZ when they went to rubber upper mounts at front (and ditched lower mount I think).
Get over there with a tape measure and double check. Strangely though i have not seen this swap done yet, please let us know how it turns out and if you encounter any problems, afterall a GPZ1100 engine can be made to go in a Z650 frame
