Arrow engine swapping

Back in the days,if you had a 750 with a 1k motor in it they were the shit.

So heres my plan.

I still want a old school Ninja,lookin for the body style with the 2 ram air/air tubes (hoses) that went next to the gas tank.


I think it was a 96 or 97 ZX7.

I want an old ZX7,but with a newer motor (fuel injected) over carb.

Now here are some questions.
Is it hard to wire up a bike that was carb for FI?
Engine bolts are the same?

I have never done this to a bike,I just want an old ZX7,but with todays technology,something fast for the street/track.

Let me know whats possible.

You know me Tony. I'm all about putting bigger motors in something it wasn't designed for.... but you want it for the track, wouldn't it handle like poopoo?

Not much of a motor size diffrence,and I have no idea when Kawi went from carb to FI.Thats what I want to research.

I ment (drag strip)
I dont want to sound like a squid,but I want it stretched longer than a hookers snatch,and lowered

I want the oldschool dual headlight ZX7s.
Theres a guy selling a 97 here for 1200.?
No title though but the previuos owners are on TR also.

I have no idea what a used 1k motor goes for.Or what else is needed.

so basically its like a car.
You still have a body harness (which is for the eletrical and I dont have to change)

Then you have the engine harness?

Can I change the fuel pumps out easy,or the whole tanks?

Does any one know when Kawi (or other brands) went from Carb to FI?
