There are various options. A secondhand engine from 1989 to around 1992 should fit. You can alternatively have yours 'remanufactured' by the factory, which is actually an exchange. They send you one they built earlier, which will be to an updated spec and also has a warranty. Or there are many aftermarket engines available, from 80" to the sky's the limit! I have an S&S 107" in my 1990 Glide.

You could also have your engine rebuilt into a new set of crankcases, but with labour that can be almost as expensive as the HD reman.
