thanks dan, my search continues and to top it all off the collector box has snapped at the end can end on my xjr1300

i have a 1983 xj550 and my engine is fubar. i want to put another engine in the bike as it's a very good frame etc. my question is, am i restricted to the same engine or will anything else fit straight in? ie something a little bigger. obviously still yamaha xj to use the same mountings etc. also does anyone have an engine ofr sale that will fit in or a 550 engine ofr sale? thanks peeps Needles
