Default Engine switch?

Question for anyone who may know.

Right now I have an 09' Dyna (Fatbob) I have decided I also want to get a touring bike. I see a lot of high mileage touring bikes available at good deals. Eventually I want to take my Fatbob's motor build it up to 110.

Here is the question: Could I take the motor out of my Fatbob with only 8K miles and put it in a touring bike with no major modifications? then I could take the touring bike motor, build that up and put it into my Fatbob? I would be looking for an 07' or above touring model. Or could I do an 88' motor?

thanks..
