There is a big difference between Stupid and Ignorant.
Untill you learn you are Ignorant.
I would much rather be Ignorant than Stupid, because like Ron White says--"Can't help Stupid".

Never,Never give yourself a hard time, plenty of other folks out there think that is their job.

But to Answer your question---I don't know.

But I bet we find out.

Have never tried it, so can't speak from experience. However, I have heard of guys building "fatvo" motors; evo cases with TC cylinders and heads. IIRC, those guys had to re-cut the pushrod tube seats in the lifter blocks to compensate for the difference in the pushrod angle between the two motors.

That would be even better! I have an entire brand new Twin Cam 96 top end sitting in front of me, and I just ordered the parts for my evo softail rolling chassis. I was just gonna build an evo, but if I could use the TC top end, it would save me a ton of extra money, lol!
