Mystery Engine
So I finally got my first Harley after 22 years of riding Honda, Yamaha and others. A good friend passed away and his wife wanted me to have his bike. This being my first Harley (American Iron) bike, I have no prior history or knowledge about any of this stuff. I have always done my own work on my bikes and have been very active with any work that they may have required.
What I know so far. The bike was a "custom" build from California Motorcycle Company (CMC). The frame is a 1997 Softail (not sure of exact model), the crankcase has a number on it that I can't figure out who makes it. The upper hardware along with the carb was made by S&S. The stamp on the crankcase is on the right hand (carb) side of the engine.
I contacted S&S and gave them the number on the crankcase and they said its not one of theirs. I have tried to reach out to Ultima, RevTech dealer but to no avail.
The engine needs to be cleaned up and gone through but before I start taking stuff apart, I want to be a little educated since this is my first experience with this type of engine setup. Thanks in advance!

I owned a 99 CMC rocket 88
It had a 88 ci SnS motor that was assembled from parts by CMC. Most of it was SnS but the rocker covers and arms were Custom Chrome. It had a super E carb.
They built their own frames in house and that were a copy of a 92 softail frame except that the connecting pieces were plasma cut steel. A typical after market frame..
It ran a Primo Brute III internal belt drive. Revtech 5 speed with close ratio first. Shocks were Progressive 422s (POS). Showa front front end. Thunderheart forward controls, calipers, ignition / elect. Most other parts were CCI.. IIRC the inner primary was Delkron but outer CCI.
