Default HD/ Indian question

I have a somewhat simple question. I am currently building my first bike, but I have owned and driven bike since I was 16. I have an S&S crankcase and HD cylinders and heads with Kieth Black pistons. I really like the bottle cap heads on Indians. Will Indian cylinders and heads fit on my crankcase?

The new Indian has a proprietary engine now not an S&S Evo clone. The last Indian in the early 2000's was the S&S.

The new company did a survey of the last owners and had an amazing 60% response back. The one thing that the previous owners said was they did not want a S&S motor so the new company complied.

If the cylinders and heads will fit, where can I get a set?
