Engine Swap
I have a 1982 Sportster XLH 1000 Ironhead basket case that I bought with a blown tranny (seller had a replacement with it). When I taslked to a friend who welds for a living he said the case halves now have week spots du to the attempts to weld the cases back to gether from when the trap door blew. I have been looking at 2 options and would like some input as I am new to Harley.
Options:
1) Get new case halves if I can find them and hope the new tranny holds. Basically rebuild the engine from the ground up.
2) Find a newer engine (Evo 1340 maybe) depnding on what I can put in that fits.
Any input on this would be great. Also, does anyone know what engines I can replace the old AMH engine with?
