95 748

1995?....I thought the 748 didn't come out until 1997.

For swapping, the biggies are to make sure that the charging system is the same (single-phase or three-phase), you will need a 916 eprom, 916 throttlebodies, and you may have to watch out for 10mm vs 12mm engine bolts (but I think all 916s were the earlier 10 mm bolts). I'm sure someone should come along who probably knows more about swapping the two than I do, though.

Straight swap. It's the 996 engine that has 12mm engine mounts. The TB's, charging system and ECU will all work fine. Alternator phases changed in '99 from memory.The 748 eprom provides a different timing advance which improves the 916 midrange no end.
