Anyone running a 2008-ish CBR1000 engine in a Stuart Taylor chassis?

I was thinking of upgrading from my CBR919 engine to a newer CBR1000 engine at some stage but haven't seen them side by side for a comparison in size, has anyone made this change or seen these engines next to each other for size comparison?

Give Phil at Aries Motorsport (the new owner) a call. I believe he is in the process of doing this at the moment.

I have been speaking with Phil at Aries Motorsport who is going to shoot me through some pics as he fits his engine to his chassis which is great of him so that should give me an idea of engine fit. At the moment I can't see it fitting in my car without it hanging about 200mm out of the bonnet . I don't want the bottom of the sump hanging down under the chassis two inches off the ground because that gives me the heeby jeebies, the sump of the 919 engine that is in there now sits pretty well level with the bottom of the chassis. I could go dry sump with the later model engine so I can get it lower but then the price starts getting into the "Just supercharge the 919" territory.
