Does anyone here know if a bottom end off of a 1998 twin cam 88 will bolt up to everything else on my 2006 street glide with the twin cam 88? Had a cam bearing go bad and ruin my case

Hmm do you have your years correct? 1998 would be a EVO...
Depending on how much of the lower end you'll be using, the early 99 model years will have a cam gear issue. All 99s had the cam bearing issue. You probably want to replace the inner cam bearings with full complement needles anyway.

Just send the case to John Dahmer Darkhorse Crankworks. They repair those.

A 96 ci motor won't fit in an 06 bagger.

I've had 7 Twin Cams from 2000-2015 and never had an issue. Check them every 20k and replace as necessary.
I agree. Do them the first time with adjustable push rods, Cyco tensioner pads and new Koyo inner bearings. Then maybe in another 40 or 50 thousand miles you may have to replace the tensioner pads again.
