Default dyna 1994 fxds-conv evo transplant to a 2000 FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide

it is my understanding that the front and rear motor mount are the same part number from 1991 to 2016 so is their any reason that a complete evo motor and transmission would not fit in the 2000 FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide twin cam frame?

Anything is possible if you throw enough money it. I suppose you could cut the twinkie motor and trans mounts out of the frame and weld in Evo mounts.

And with all the trouble I had with my '09 and it blowing up on me at only 87k miles, I'll say just the opposite. Give me my evo any day over a twin cam.
