Default katana transformation

Basically i'm at the stage where i need more power.. I have a 1991 gsx600f katana and i cant get it to wheelie, i've done EVERYTHING, taken advice from everyone and tried it a million different ways. What its come down to is that the bikes to heavy and not powerful enough... SO, me and another powerhungry buddy got the wonderful idea of taking a gsxr750 engine and putting it into the katana, i know we'd have to change engine mounts and basically start from scratch, BUT i could get away with it no? i cant afford insurance on a super sport so why not bring the super into the touring, "fool" my insurance company into thinking i just have a kat, isnt that what it is anyway? a katana with a different engine?

what do you think, will it work.. putting a 600 or 750 gsxr into the kat?
