The issue with a Shovel in a Dyna chassis is the transmission and oil tank. Dyna's have a oil and transmission pan under the transmission. How does that work out with a Shovel motor? IDK but would need to be worked out. My understanding is that in the 90's they only mode one 80" Evo motor, so the factory was putting them in rigid mount Softails and rubber mount Dynas and Touring bikes. Leads me to think the motor should be able to be bolted up to the rubber mounts with some effort. The Shovel motor is shorter than an Evo, so it should fit in the frame. The transmission and oil pan become the issue, good luck.
I have seen Genny Shovels in Softail frames, much easier route. But would be cooler in the Dyna frame.

Also the bracket that connects the motor to the 5-speed transmission on those bikes, if it is not on the Dyna.

Again...a Shovel Engine Swap into an Evo Dyna, or any Evo Platform, is No Sweat!!
