My 2004 Monster 800ie engine block got punched by the chain when the master link failed on a slow downshift and now there's a 1 in by 1/2 in hole letting all the oil out. It looks completely unrepairable because there isn't enough material around the hole to seal it properly so I need to find a replacement motor. I'm hoping someone here knows which other Ducati models share the same engine mounts as my 800ie. Also I need to know about the electronics. Will my existing ECU, gauge cluster, and key work with a different engine, or do I need to swap everything? Is there some kind of aftermarket device or product that can help simplify any wiring differences between the motors? I need all the information and hope I can get to make this swap happen.
