dyna project
Well, I am fianlly at the point of my dyna project that I need a motor......the bike is painted and wired.
My plan is to go with a stock HD 80" crate motor......I see them on Ebay for $2700 "new" that includes free shipping. These are coming from St.Paul Harley Davidson, has anyone ever bought something from these people? I just don't want to get ripped off, I have come too far with this project.

RE: dyna project
Sorry..I can't help you with that particular dealer.
Reason I'm replying is because I had a stupid question. Why do they call them "crate" motors. Stock 80" (Evo...right?) from 84 to 98 were the "big twin" harley motors. Is there a difference between those stock engines and a "crate" 80" motor...or is this just a term to describe a motor that was never installed in a bike/vehicle?
I know it's a pointless post..I was just curious.
Anyway...sounds like a good price...If I remember correctly, I think it's cheaper than what's listed in the HD accessories catalog.

RE: dyna project
Crate motor is just a stock replacement engine......right off the factory floor and shipped to your house in a wooden crate
I have searched the internet today and I think I will go with a Rev Tech 88" they are not much more $$ than the stock HD and come with carb and ignition and come with a 3 yr/30000 mile warranty. Here is a recent pic of my project......just have to fill that big empty hole.

No different then buying a Chevy 350 or Dodge 426 hemi "Crate" motors.

I think they were the 365 hp. First one I got went into a 32 Ford coupe.
Any motor you buy over the counter is a crate/great motor Todd.
Put it where you want it.
