I've looked at it this. I've got '05 and '07 CBR600RR along with MC19 and MC22.
You'll have to heavily modify frame to accept engine. Swingarm pivot goes through both frame AND engine on 600RR. Issue is space inside frame for swingarm+engine is about 30mm too narrow on MC22. You'd have to chop frame vertically at rear and spread out that much then weld back and line-bore pivot holes. Second and 3rd rear engine-mount holes on 600RR also goes through side of frame rather than tabs for really solid mounting.

You'll need all 600RR's other components: swingarm+shock, harness, ECU, fuel-pump+lines airbox, tank, exhaust, etc. People have tried swapping in 600RR into CBR600F of various generations and using carburetors. But ends up with vastly wrong AFR (both too lean and too rich). Result was weaker engine than original F engine.
For amount of work involved, I would just build chromoly trellis frame from scratch to hold that 600RR engine.

Easiest to just have one of each.
