88 to 96 engine mod.
Hello to all.Can anyone tell me if I can install stock 2007 96 cylinders,pistons,cylinder heads on my 2006 heritage efi 88. Would I gain anything by this? Or do I need an aftermarket big bore kit? Thanks, tom

Randy is correct....you will have to buy 06 and earlier pistons. As far as gaining anything...no...you would still have a 88'. I have to ask, why do you want to install a '07 top end on your '06?

The 07 - 96" engine is a "stroked" TC 88. The cylinder bore and size is the same on an 88 and 96 but the pistons will not interchange, and the heads are a bit different.
Start with a TC88, bore it out and you get 95"
Start with a TC88, bore and stroke it and you get 103"
Start with a TC96, bore it out and you get 103"
You will gain nothing by trying to put a stock 96" top end on a TC88
