Default Motor swap question

Well I picked up my new ro me bike and found out it's not an FXSTC it's an FXST which is totally fine but good to know either way. A close friend of mine helped me bring it home and he was wondering would an 09 Roadglide CVO motor and trans fit in this frame? If it would what all would we need to do to get that done? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It wouldn't be a straight across, bolt-in swap....

You're trying to install an '09 Twin Cam "A" motor & 6-speed trans from a touring bike, into a frame for an EVO motor & 4 speed trans on a softail bike.

Different engine, trans, and frames involved.... separated by 10 years of changes, updates....

I've never done it, so I can't speak to the specifics, but I suspect it will take several modifications to make it happen.

However, I had a friend who used to say, "Anything is possible with enough time and money..."

Sorry I can't offer specifics, someone with more knowledge in this area will surely chime in....

Good luck with your re-power....
