Engine Swap - CB900f into a CB900C - Anyone done this before?

So I am going to try swapping an engine from a 1979 CB900F into a 1980 CB900C, but wanted to check quick to make sure this is possible before I commit precious garage space for the next few weeks.

Can anyone confirm a swap is feasible? Even better if anyone has done this before, would you have any advice on the process? I know the motors on these two are at least very similar, if not even possibly the same with the exception of the high/low gearbox.

Also related, if I do this, whats the best way to actually take one of these beasts out of the frame? I'm thinking just laying the bike on its side, and pulling the bike off.. Could also get a couple other guys to help and pull it off sideways, but at 300lbs, I'm thinking this will still be a problem.

Thanks!!
