Its possible.

you may have to cut the frame though.

A magna fanatic known as Alan Seagrave put a v65 magna engine into a v45 Super Magna frame.

Yes, it will bolt right in. No modifications needed. The only real difference between the 84 vf700 and 82 vf750 engine are internal.

Only thing I can think of that might have to be changed is the plug for the alternator but that comparitively is a minor issue.

Thanks Dan, DG and Jeff,

Are the carbs and wiring harness all the same as well. Can I put a 83 wiring harness on a 82 and a 84 carb rack on a 82?
Thanks Dan

Yes on the harness and carbs. The harness changes in 1985 and won't work on 84 and back.
