Good work! Keep us updated.

[@Gr33nSh4rk]

Woooww man! I whant to see the end of it and the process as well

[@nielraskin1703]

Man you are a saint! I want to do this for such a long time.

[@motorman341]

I just wanted to put some info out there. When I was looking it was just a few pages of clues of what to do

[@nielraskin1703]

@@motorman341 yes, exactly that. Ran up to the same problem. Some good info you're sharing man

[@motorman341]

commands for vid. 1. Do not hone the cyclinders. unless the nikasil plated is bad. 2. use the vfr timing gear by clutch basket 3. don't buy the VFR carbs. just jet the Magna carbs 4. each case has a code for journal bearings. don mix the cases 5. not using fuel pump. don't need it 6. that cam that broke. you have to set it, then move the motor intill the lobe is off the valve before tightening 7. cyclinder 3 coil is in that small box. there is room to mount it outside of the box. run a ground wire to it 8. 6speed transmission, check 2nd gear it gets the most abuse

[@motorman341]

if anyone has any questions on the swap, send me a comment got about $1600 for all the parts at this point (vfr engine, wiring harness, ICM, coils, carbs, machine work, fuel pump, fuel pump cut off, gasket kit, piston rings, bearings)

[@rpuHbI4]

awesome!

[@noname-zy4sl]

On the upper case and the crankshafts. Manufacturers will use different part numbers even if there is a small change, even though it would swap fine. I bet the reason there is a different part number is the different cam drive system. Im 99.99999% sure thats the only difference. You could possibly saved time and money by using the crank and upper case from the VFR. Too bad the whole engine wouldnt swap out easily. Thanks for the video, answered a lot of questions.

[@ricvis44]

The cranks are different from the VFR to the VF. The VFR has two crank throughs. The VF has one. (Correct me if I’m wrong). That VFR crank having the 180° crank throws makes more power. The single throw crank just makes it sound like a Harley.

[@motorman341]

Can't just use half a block. Because of the Journal bearings. Each block has a code on them tell u which bearing to use. Can't mix blocks

[@allanogden7434]

They are line bored, you shouldn't mix different halves.

[@motorman341]

No used magna stator.

[@JBuehrer18154]

Did you bolt the vfr stator to the magna stator cover? I don’t have the magna stator in front of me so I can’t visually check.

[@motorman341]

Used Magna stator and cover.

[@JamesR23]

@motorman341 hey buddy I am in the middle of swapping my 86’ 700 motor out and replacing it with an 82’ 750 motor. Am wondering if you had any issues lining the carbs up with the motor?

[@motorman341]

Wrong gen of bike. I only deal with 1995-02 vf750 magna

[@spruttimads]

Any reason why you cant just swap the magna engine with the vfr engine ? without taking them both apart

[@Flatheadfreek]

I'd like to know this as well... thank you

[@keithulhul7540]

Different mountains

[@ahs3129]

That’s what I was thinking.. easier to relocate motor mounts than what he’s going through

[@aztec_rider1]

I’m a bit late for the party but is it possible to just swap the transmission gears for that extra gear?

[@motorman341]

Yes

[@aztec_rider1]

@@motorman341 awesome thank you

[@TruongLe-eo8kh]

I have 1985 honda VF1000R , my engine is rusted and seized and i'm looking to remove the engine. Do you know if it is possible to remove the engine like you did from a rolling chassis ? Or strip down everything to bare frame and remove the frame from engine? Guys from VFR forum recommended the latter. Thanks

[@motorman341]

check with the book. i have no experience with that bike. everything comes apart

[@kubelwagen516]

Can't you swap the vfr800 engine for the Magna? at least it got fuel injection system.

[@motorman341]

no clue. I did what I did beacause both motors i used where the same block.

[@obedgarcia2744]

Which book are you follow to rebuilt it?

[@motorman341]

Both are needed. Vfr750 and vf750

[@saepulbahri7401]

How firing order on this engine?

[@motorman341]

Same. Changed out magna cdi for vfr cdi. Timing setup is dfferent

[@allanogden7434]

Which year model did you get the VFR engine from?

[@motorman341]

Rc36e motor It was used between 1990 to 1997 Mine I think was a 1994 or 1995

[@allanogden7434]

I'm impressed, you've done a great job! How close were the cases in comparison, because I want to do the opposite of what you've done! Is it possible you could have fitted the complete VFR engine and changed only the heads for the Magna heads, including the extra valve springs from the VFR? I want the 360 crank in my VFR, so I intend to use the full Magna motor, and swap out the gearbox to the VFR six speed, front head (angled RH exhaust port) and add the extra valve springs to the rear Magna head (mill off the fins too), as the cam chain tensioner mount is included in the rear head only, where as the front is in the cases. Any advice will be gladly received!

[@motorman341]

@@allanogden7434 mainly the vfr block takes a lot of work to fit into the magna frame. Go to v4musclebike.com Lookup 3rd gen vfr engine swap Worn out did a vfr motor swap. Took him 2 yrs. I had it done in one month. I did not have to re-engineer the wheel. It can be done. I see it easier the way I did it.

[@allanogden7434]

Oh ok cool thanks, will have a look, cheers...

[@joemagnani3010]

How did this go?

[@motorman341]

4k miles later still running great

[@redlight3932]

i got a 93 shadow and a 87 vfr 700 anyone think a swap is a good idea?

[@motorman341]

Not sure you see what the Magna has. The VF750 Magna has a de-tuned VFR motor stock. the swap give you 20+hp.

[@januaryman169]

I don't know if it's possible. The Shadow is a V-twin, the other is a V-4.

[@jennifern5376]

How do you install clutch

[@dennisschell5543]

Is there a follow up???

[@motorman341]

Yes 8 vids on playlist on my page. Or more info at v4musclebike.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28440

Just put the camera in a spot and record everything
