Evo motor swap?
I am looking at picking up a spare early Evo motor for my 1998 Softail to tinker around on. It is a 1985 with no primary or tranny. Will I be able to bolt my 1998 primary and tranny to it or will I have issues? Thanks a lot.

I'm not having any problem with my motor, just thought I'd pick up a spare motor to do a rebuild on as I've never done it. I wouldn't do anything crazy to the motor, just likely update the cam, lifters, and put in adjustable rods.

Ok, thanks for the info on the weaker cases. I thought of adjustable pushrods as I heard it makes it easier to do some engine work later. I've also heard some problems with adjustable rods coming loose, so I may reconsider.
