Question Engine swap, Is it possible?

I gotta '05 Sportster 1200 xlc. Does anyone know if it would be possible to fit a 110B CI 1800cc Screamin eagle motor in the frame. And would it be worth It???

I'm not expert but that sounds like a horrible idea for the frame.

Definately not worth it. If you just want a big engine look into NRHS i know they make an 88" kit and i think also a 90". wITH THAT AND A set of ported heads you will have more power than you would ever want....if thats what you are going for.

Thanx everyone. I have no interest in the swap itself. Just wanted to see if it was possible. With that kind of money involved I would just assume by a different bike or build my own. Thanx again.
