748 749 engine swap?
 
I know that with enough money and time you could fit and thing into any chassis, never heard it been done just wondering if anyone else had? Does the engine bolt in or does it require frame mods? and what about electronics and fueling?
:puzzled:

why ?? just curious ???

way too much trouble for what you'll gain. if you're going to do it use a 998/999 motor but you'll have to do a TON of mod, including a frame mod.

I'm always up for a project but in this case the best advise has to be sell the 748 and buy a 998 imo.

May be worth giving a go if it was a 748R that you had with the larger engine mounts and the shower injection, otherwise as Wilf says there could be a huge amount of work and agro involved

i built the motor with a 2 phase 900ss lightened and balanced crank into a 998 deep sump cases.

stock pistons were milled to get the deck height correct leaving the center raised to gain more compression.

a combination of the piston modifications skimmimg the heads and the extra stroke gives a measured compression of 14.1

own port work on heads and r cams so 150 or more hp is in reach...

just a normal modified 748 ecu and loom running the 999 throttle bodies..

if you want pics pm me your e mail..
