was the blade carbs or injection? If carbs then return fuel line will be needed.

You will need a new engine cradle.

If I had a busa I'd dry sump it, but thats cos they cost a fortune, and for mainly track work it will be in for a lot of fast corners which equates to possible oil starvation. A worthwhile investment.

You need a speedo healer to get the clocks to register the correct speed.

on top of above,

Also new exhaust manifold,

Possible power comander easier for mapping,

TRT which tricks the car to get full power,

Sump you can dry sump, others like westfield do a modified wet sump,

etc im sure someone else will put 2pence in

You may not need a return. Some of the more modern bikes controle the presure by the ecu..

TRT is the common abbreviation for Torque Resilient Tube... this will not trick anything to get full power. I'm sure you mean a DG8 or someother such technowizardry...

But you may need a new Prop depending upon engine location.

Depending upon bonnet - the Busa engine is taller.
New Front Shocks - 40lb increase due to heavier weight.

cheers for replies different bonnet i hope not running to a very tight budget on this one what about the shocks i would have thought the blade and busa engines would be very similar in weight. and i thought this was going to be a simple engine swap stripped the car yesterday having full cage fit as well so there is not much left now stood back and thought what have i done then thought how good it will be when finished again.
