Engine swaps

I have 2006 FLHPI police road king with 88in engine . Looking to upgrade to bigger engine . I could either get the big boar kit and be at 95, or I could buy a used 103 ofc Ebay and just swap engines. Question is ..... will it be exact bolt pattern match , and will the wiring be the same too? If not , what else will be needed ?

Or buy an aftermarket engine! The TC96 engines and later will not marry up to the earlier TC88 transmission, but a big S&S will.....

Bore to 98" ,cams and headwork if you can afford it and a good tune. You'll run circles around a stock or stage one 103s all day with out all the headaches of trying to bolt up a different drive train.

If the OP wants a 103" that will bolt up, he should be looking for a 103" motor from an early CVO model but the Beagle's suggestion makes the most sense.

How early did they start the 103" CVO models? I thought the TC88 year CVO bikes were only 95"
