Could well be one of the remade Panhead motors that S&S build. They're an interesting idea - a 1950s engine design made with modern machining and tolerances, which equals a Panhead that doesn't leak oil...

With STD cases sounds like a scratch built engine without pulling a cylinder head would not know displacement. For that matter without any pictures no way to even begin to figure what it might be.

You might be better off asking in the Vintage section. Lots of guys will be able to bore the pants off you about Panheads...

Std built good race quality replacement parts and full engines just like s&s. They were the go to bottom end guys at one time.
