Sweet !!
well since the coil won't fit anymore ...put the stock motor back in ...and we'll come get that big jug head of a motor off your hands !!!
just a little piece of flat plate will extend the coil out pass the head ...

The problem with that is that the coil cover won't fit anymore.
Gotta change coils too as the ignition that came with the motor is a single fire system.
For a split second I was thinking of taking a grinding wheel to the heads and making it fit!!!!!

Just don't assume, when installing the Twinkie engine I assumed a bagger spacer was the same and the engine was dragging when starting. Turned out a Road Glide runs a 55 amp charging system, for the 2 head lights, not the common 45 amp, by a quick glance the spacers wasn't noticeable BUT they were by measurement. Cost me a bunch of time figuring out what was wrong and a stator.
Jasper had this happen and my Ultima engine had to have the spacer changed, a softail spacer should be common but a simple check at this point is golden

indeed I did. think thats specific to baggers though. mine was a -97 PN, motor shipped with a -70 PN on the sprocket spacer, and i lunched a stator in the process.
safer to make sure, that main seal's only ~ $15. if you dont wanna pull it apart, call S&S. they'll verify what sprocker spacer shipped with your motor, and you can cross reference that part number thats on your current setup.

My new 111 runs cool or I should say it never runs hot even in the summer GA heat. I don't sit in traffic either. Hot rodding or fast off the Hwy it does great and no oil cooler.
