You might be able to get it to fit a touring frame or something that is rubber mounted if you use an evo touring style transmission case. Other than that it's not going to fit a softail twincam frame

While this is some-what true...it depends on what twin-cam frame you have...some of the first twin-cams had an EVO type front mount...so if you use an evo trans...you would probably just need a custom trans mount plate to make it bolt-in.

Evo lower end with a twin cam cylinders and heads.

For the op. Like Jason already stated you would need evo trans case in a rubber mount set up like the FL and you could make it work. What frame are you trying to do this with?

I would say you could do it with an EVO trans in any 06 and down frame that originally had an "A" motor
