hello again all.
I saw what looked like an ex-race 748 today that the current owner did not have any history on. it looked like it may have had a 996 swap at some point (it had what looked like recycling yard grease pencil notes on the cases: date, stock number and "996") on it. I know that this is not an uncommon swap but do not have enough knowledge to be able to identify one from the other. Is there any reliable method? if so is there a way to tell what the engine came from (super bike vs st vs monster s4)? I didn't pick up the bike as it was a little (actually a lot) too far gone for what I would want out of it but am interested in the information none the less.
thanks as always
