I did a swap with my 2001 1500 Drifter to a 2003  1600 classic engine.  the only issues were the fuel line configuration (I had to swap some of the components from my 1500 throttle body to the 1600) and the fact that the 1600 has two stators (I just left one unplugged and taped off)......but I also recently did an engine replacement on a 2008 meanstreak 1600 with a Vulcan 1500 and there were no issues at all.  But I used the original throttle body on the new engine....

you should be able to switch them out with no problem....just be sure you go over all the electricals first to make sure everything matches up....and you may need to use the whole throttle body setup from your drifter engine

So I spun a rod bearing this weekend. I want to take the time to rebuild the engine properly but want to enjoy the rest of the riding weather this year. I found a mean streak donor bike. I was wondering if I would be able to do an even swap of the motors or would I need to swap everything from electronics to the pipes. Thanks in advance
