I'm asking if 2008 softail custom twin cam B motor,tranny and primary will fit in my 2001 softail fatboy frame. The seller posted info about their item for sale and I was curious.

yea I saw that thread as well. Worse case scenario that it is not a direct bolt-in to my 2001 softail fatty frame, how easy/hard would it be to "make" it bolt in. Are there after market product that deal with these specific issues?
