Default TriGlide 103 ???

Anybody know what was done to our motors to make them 103's.....was it just jugs and pistons or something more such as a different cam than the stock 96 to give it more power for the weight of the TriGlide????

Just the bigger Bore. 3.875 vs 3.750 for the 96" engines. They did add automatic compression releases to make it easier to start. The cams are the same ones that come stock in the 96" engines.
