max power Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Does the 996 engine bolt right up to the 748 chassis? Just curious. Edited July 28, 2014 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 So is it the same chassis or smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 So is it the same chassis or smaller? The frames are identical but Ducati did change the engine bolts from 10mm to 12mm in 2000 or 2001 plus you'll need the 748 to have the 3 phase electronics, but otherwise, it bolts right in.

baptizo Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 This link summarizes the swap options fairly well: http://www.ebay.com/gds/DUCATI-748-916-996-Engine-Motor-Conversion-/10000000004031397/g.html There is a ton more info, though, on Ducati.ms.

max power Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cool! Good to know. Is there a large hp difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 The real difference, aside from the obvious power output (95 vs. 122, I think), is how each engine produces its power, imo. The 748 is a high-rev motor while the 996 is torquey with power available down low and mid-range so you don't have to stay on top of the power curve. The 748 is more nimble but I think the 996 is more practical because of the power band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baptizo Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 ducrxservice@gmail.com Thanks, IP. I need to figure how I'm going to get it up there after selling my Ram and the Porsche sure the hell can't tow it up there. I'll be in touch soon.

baptizo Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have transport service. Cool, it looks like my Duc can get freshened up much sooner. Do you want me to remove the mid fairings? Mine can be a PITA to install with the CF upper. I'll send over an email to discuss further and make arrangements to have it picked up.
