Hi everybody. I have a question. My 36y crankshafts, cylinders, cylinder heads and pistons, and the con rods and gearbox I want to replace 36y from 3tx. Does this work?(Google translater.Sorry.)

I think the 1100 engine cases have to be bored for the 1200 cylinders.  Randy or Robert will be able to verify that for you. 

All the other parents are basically the same between models.

Will a complete early 1200 (1tx or 3CV - not rubber mounted) motor transfer ok into an 100 frame?

G'day Mark, yep the early 1200 and 1100 frames are identical. Plug and play I think.

The 1100 case does not have to be bored to accept the 1200 cylinders. They will bolt straight on. Once going to bigger sleeves i.e. 1250cc, clearance must be made in the 1100 case.

Hello.
Thanks for the help I received.
I finished the construction in spring 2019.
Since then I have done about 7000 miles with no problems with the engine. There were some technical problems caused by old parts but the engine is technically fine.
The components used in the engine are
fj1100 engine case
fj1200 3xw crankshaft,
con rod,,clutch,cylinder,cylinder head,pistons,
gearbox,
New piston ring set,all bearings,o ring and gasket.New timing chain and all chain guides,new alternator chain.
Fjr1300 front brake,fj1200/3xw wheels,front fork,
fj1200/1992  switches,
steel clutch line.
Valves sanded,valve clearances adjusted.
Fuel tap rebuilt,fixed with wire.
Relay installed in alternator wiring.
Fuel tank is surprisingly not rusty. It is always full and I do not use e10 fuel.
Thanks to those who helped me and to the rpm team from whom I ordered many parts and they handled the delivery perfectly.
