Vey old bike now The ZZR1100 came out in about 1990, and was preceded by the ZX10.
The GPZ 1000RX preceded that
I'd reckon on at least 125bhp, and (given it's a Kwak) solid reliability (assuming it's had done what was needed).
As for car fitting, you might be wise to check that sump doesn't need modifying etc.

Going by the link in Simons reply, I reckon you're far better off sticking with the blade instead of replacing it with the 1000RX.

PS - Andy, just noticed the U2U. Steve must have opened it initially and not replied. Sorry mate........

Thats what I had in my Indy first time, An oldie but I think a goodie, same bottom end as the later engines, good pwer and the carbs sit horizontal to
the head so no top clearance probs,
