1VJ engine in 34L/55W

I've been reading through many of the old posts but just wanted someone to succinctly advise me on this thorny question.

I'm having problems with my right knee and even though I haven't got to the engine refurb yet I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a painful problem kick starting my bike.

I see that the 1VJ should bolt straight in, but can someone give me a check list of what else I would need. I have a brand new loom on the bike so was wondering if the electrics that take care of the electric start part patch in to this loom or is it a 1VJ complete loom that I need?

Will my 34L carbs be ok? I presume that I would need a bigger battery too?

Has anyone successfully carried out this swap?

All answers greatly appreciated.

Regards

Andy
