Default Road Glide motor build

Well it started this weekend. The 96in, with 10,000 miles, has been tore down to make room for the S&S 106 kit. The last of the chrome was dropped off at the powdercoater. Unfortunately, funds are not available for head work at this time.
Details:
S&S 106 kit
S&S Lifters, Quickie push rods
Cycle-Rama 575 cams
FuelMoto 2-1-2 head pipe with full size crossover
Cometic gaskets, .030 head gasket

Here are some pictures. Hopefully it will be back together in a week or so and then off to the tuner.

Should run well.
Headwork will ace it later.
