Default 103 engine swap

Can any one tell me if I am able to swap my 96 motor with a 2015 103 motor? Would it be direct a bolt in for my 2007 street glide, Thanks

As long as it's from another touring bike I don't see why not.

Not directly. They had a frame change in 2009 for the touring bikes and it affected the mounts so they're different between those motors.

There is no difference in the engine, it'll bolt unto any 07 and later touring. The only engine that wouldn't be a direct bolt in is the Twin Cooled engines, they'd need the heads changed.
