Hi,I was wondering if anyone has done this as I currently have an 1100 I am breaking and a mate has asked me what bits he would need to get off me in order to do this.Is it just a question of swapping the top ends and motronic or is much more complicated?Thanks

Is your mate's 850 of the 850/1100 or 850/1150 type?
Rear bevel is different for sure, the clutch is different between the 5 and 6 speed gearbox. Probably other things too

A quick look in the Haynes manual tells me 850 87.5mm bore 1100 99mm bore same stroke, so strip away.
Motronic system is different, which can be obtained from an 850 rt (850r motronic is different to the 850gs/850rt).
Rear bevel is different, and of course, the barrels and pistons.
My 850 only had 5 gears, not 6 mentioned above.

Did they do an 850 in the shape of an 1150?
I thought they were only in the 1100 shape/spec.
Head, barrels,bevel box,motronic are about all I can think of, maybe throttle bodies as well?
I dare say a grown up will be along in a minute to put you right

I think you will find that the 850 gs was the same as the 1100, but the 850 was also in RT and R version, a mate at work has an R which is a 2005 model I think and that has 1150 style gearbox/subframe mounts, hydraulic clutch and 6 speed box
Thanks folks,we are only considering doing this because his engine is down on compression and smoking a bit.Its the very first 850 5 speed so hopefully no problems there,cheers though I had not considered the FD ratio

why whats he hoping to gain out of it
Rings and bores have had it on his and I am cheaper than motorworks!,Its not about tuning/need for speed but sorting him out on the cheap as I owe him more than 1 favour,Cheers

Throttle bodies and injectors the same.
