Default Help engine identification

Hello i'm not sure if you can help me but no one else seems to want to. I have a assembled motorcycle i recently purchased and it needs a few things problem is i have no idea what engine it has. I believe it to be a Evolution motor but the only numbers on it are FH09T4687. Any help you could give me in identifying this engine would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If the rocker boxes are in 3 pieces it is an EVO.

Pictures would help.

No its an EVO, not a Harley EVO, but an EVO. The two vertical bolts behind the rear cylinder are the giveaway, Twin cams have the bolts going through the tranny and into the engine. It could be a Rev-Tech or an early Ultima. You can check with them and see if they can help you.
You should have gotten an MSO for the Engine and Frame. You will need these to prove that the parts aren't stolen if you get stopped at a checkpoint.

Close but no cigar...it's not an EVO, it's a Fatso...Basically evo type cases that take twincam topend parts ...Delkron and a few others make them

Yea, those lifters look to be oriented like an Evo but definately TC heads and jugs.. I agree with the Fatvo.. Sounds great on paper, I have no experience with it..

Thanks for all your help guys. Now I've got a couple issues the bike will not take fuel it idles fine but as soon as you give it gas it just cuts off. It has a twin Tec 1005 ignition in it and when you give it gas the signal lights go out on the module. So I believe it to be faulty. Also the engine makes a very loud tick from the right side and it increases as you give it gas
