Sure there might be some drawbacks under specific conditions. On a sidenote, when I was in my early teens, I considered it could be reasonable to replace a 4-cyl 1.0L car engine with a 500cc parallel-twin out of some motorcycle with a similar power rating - little did I notice how the substantially different power and torque curves and peak RPM bands would affect overall performance.
