Its the same idea but obviously the actual details such as the dimensions of the inlet manifold, and the throttle linkage, will differ. Since it will undoubtedly be an unusual conversion, you're realistically looking into fabricating a one-off, or finding someone who can customise something. Then it will need setting up and jetting for your application.

and wat engine size is best would carbs from a 600cc be ok or would it have to be 1000cc!
is it done by the power of the engine there to be fitted to for example
if the motorbike is 120bhp those carbs will run a car engine of the similar power?not taking in to account jetting etc? but as a rough guide?

I measured the circumference of the inlet gasket which happened to be the same as a 36mm diameter bore, so I bought some CBR600 Keihins. The carb centres are slightly different to the engine. 78mm against 82mm. A mate has a set that are wider between the middle pair and narrower at the outer pairs. I'm not sure what they came off, but they appear to be more suitable for the small block engine.

600 carbs will be around the 32-38mm area
1000 carbs will be around 40-46mm ish

it all depends on what your carbs come off ie.zx9 are bigger than zzr1100
if the bike is an all out sports bike they will have larger bodies than a larger cc tourer ,
