Difference between 1100 and 1200

[element303]

Main question right upfront: Is it worth it to swap a 1200 engine to replace the 1100?

My bike came with an extra 1200 engine but I dont see any advantages in the specs other than I guess some more torque. Im just wondering if its worth the mess of swapping it or taking it apart and sell the other engine.

What is wrong with the installed engine? They both pull like scalded mules when set up properly.

Yes, what Monkey said.
There is really no difference in the power levels between the two engines.

Where you might run into some issues is with the engine mounts.

I believe there were a few different versions, so not all the engines fit all the frames.
(someone who is better informed could confirm this)

Yeah thats exactly what I thought. I guess I will take the other one apart then and sell it in parts. Too heavy to even move that heavy b*tch 20ft.

build the 1200 into a monster, then swap...

I rather throw a turbo on it. Are there any links for a FJ? I havent even driven her yet fully functional. From the specs and quarter mile times it must go like hell stock already.
