On our '90 flhtcu, I kept the oil filter under the transmission when I installed a new Ultima engine which was equal to a 1992-97? Evo that has the bolt holes for the oil filter to be mounted in the front. I thought about moving it front but later decided I liked it better underneath. I did have to modify a few of the oil hoses from the tank to get them to fit the new oil pump, but they recommended changing them and flushing the oil tank during a new engine installation anyhow so it was no big deal cutting a few bends out.

98 was the last year of the evo in the Dynas. 99 for the rest of the models.
