Default zx10 motor in '03 z1000 chassis?

Just running things thru my skull...Will a zx10 motor "bolt in" to my '03 z1000?Or what hyper motor will?Hmmm...I'm just needing more than the mild cams,and gearing will do.I'm pretty much broke,so my resources are few.Trying a 45 tooth rear today,tho'.We'll just have to see...

since the motor in your z1000 is a zx9 i doubtthat the zx10would bolt right in. although if u are looking for more performance like i am. this is what i have done so far.i have a 04 z1000 that will run with most bikes.i put a 4 into 1 header off a zx9, yoshimura pipe,power commander,kn air filter and several other cosmedic upgrades. 1st gear is nuts can't keep the front end down and still comes up just under power in 2nd gear. i have had the speedo say 170+ on long high speed runs. just for comperisan i have a buddy that has a stock zx14 and he can bearly pull me around town, but on the highway over 100 he just keeps pulling. so i still need to make mine faster. i'm thinking cams is about the last think i can do without tearing the motor down. if u have any more suggestions please let me know.

I doubt the ZX10 engine will fit but the injectors from the ZX10 will fit like a glove on the Z1000
The Z1000 have 38mm injectors and the ZX10 have 41mm injectors and different nozzles for better fuel atomization.Plug in a set of cams from a 97-99 ZX9 more duration and use the lighter flywheel from the ZX9 with a Power Commander and a 4-1 you should easily have around 160-170HP enjoy

The sizes you're referring to on the injectors is NOT the injector size, but the throttlebody size. And you ain't gettin' 160-170 hp out of cams & a PC3....a big bore kit w/ all supporting mods will get you in that ballpark though.

I lucked out on ebay I just won a complete 02 ZX9R head with camshafts.
I didn't realize the ZX9 was down draft and the Z1000 was side draft?
Would this make a big difference?
I read a really good article about how a shop did some work on a 99 ZX9R with awesome results.
Here is the link enjoy,hopefully this will apply to our Z1000's as well
